| Gas prices recorded further losses on Monday as demand levels dropped despite cooler weather, with a milder weather outlook for later in the week helping towards the bearish sentiment. The broader energy complex also remained weak, further weighing on prices. | Power prices followed gas and moved down during yesterday’s session, ignoring a rebound in carbon. An expected drop in wind levels today helped the prompt climb higher but the rest of the curve weakened as temperatures are set to improve as the week progresses and commodities decreased. |

| The UK gas system is oversupplied this morning but overall movement along the gas curve is bullish. Oil has found support from potential talks between the US and Russia, while Chinese economic indicators have also provided some positivity. | Power contracts have found direction from a rise in fuel markets, with coal and carbon both following a rebound in oil. Milder weather and an expected uptick in renewable generation have also weighed on the prompt. |
