| The UK gas system remains long this morning but movement along the gas curve is stable, with some bullish resistance provided by an increase in carbon and power prices. The supply outlook remains very healthy with a further 11 LNG cargoes expected to dock in Europe over the next fortnight. | Power prices have found support from an increase in commodity markets this morning, with carbon & coal displaying further gains.
