Near-curve gas prices turned bearish yesterday as UK supply was comfortable. LNG send-outs in Europe were at their highest levels since the end of February, while the system was oversupplied due to strong Norwegian flows, improved wind levels and milder weather. Further out, a rebound on coal, oil and carbon markets restricted any losses.

Gas prices moved higher on Friday as temperatures for this week were revised down and an increase in storage injections is expected, tightening the system. Residential demand was forecast to rise by over 30mcm today but improved LNG flows should help to make up the difference. Further out, prices continued to take direction from rising commodity markets.
