Gas price stabilised yesterday afternoon as a slight drop in demand levels was forecast for today.

Further out, a drop in coal prices helped to weigh on some contracts despite another rebound on the oil market.

Increased CCGT generation and higher LDZ demand led to increases across the near gas curve on Thursday. The system was oversupplied on the back of improved Norwegian flows which capped the gains somewhat, while the far-curve was pushed higher by rising coal.
