The UK gas system was long throughout yesterday’s session as residential demand remained below the seasonal average due to mild weather. The outage at the Bergermeer storage site was also expected to be resolved this morning and movement at the front of the curve was largely bearish. Contracts further out were more stable due to an expected drop in temperatures next week, while LNG supply remains weak.
