| The UK gas system is balanced this morning as wind levels are very low and temperatures have decreased, lifting demand. Flows are healthy, limiting gains on the prompt somewhat, while stronger oil and power has offered support to the rest of the gas curve. | Power prices remain bullish today, continuing to follow their gas counterparts. Oil also trades higher, while coal and carbon contracts have eased down. Wind levels are below 1GW this morning but are expected to improve tomorrow, helping the prompt record a loss. |
