| After the UK market was closed on Monday, prices rose, catching up with continental markets. Although the decision to suspend strike action planned for the 3rd September helped lower fears of supply. | A lack of wind and nuclear power, slightly higher demand and rising fossil fuel prices all contributed to prices remaining at a high level. Further out, power prices halted after recording recent highs. |

| With less concern over UK production, this could lower near curve gas prices today, especially as they are trading at overbought levels. The far curve suggests bearish behaviour as oil, EUA and coal prices are expected to weaken. | A rebound in wind power should see day ahead prices decline for delivery tomorrow. Overall, a stable to bearish outlook for today. |
