| The UK gas system is slightly oversupplied this morning with colder temperatures lifting demand levels, however, improved Norwegian flows ramped up to offset the impact. This has resulted in further losses on the prompt and near-curve, while the far-curve was pressured down by weaker commodity markets. | An increase in carbon has helped some power contracts to record gains this morning. Feedstocks, gas and coal also provided little direction to power, while bearish oil has applied some downward pressure to the far-curve. |
