| The gas curve remains stable this morning as oil and coal markets have calmed, carbon has moved down and power is mixed; providing little direction to prices. The UK gas system is oversupplied but the effects of this have been offset by a cold weather outlook for the coming days. | Power prices are stable to bullish this morning, with cold weather and weaker wind levels supporting the front of the curve. However, a slightly weaker demand outlook is forecast for tomorrow, resulting in a loss on the prompt. |
