* Prices dropped after a strong rise in the past week prompted by factors including a requirement for Gazprom to reduce flows via the OPAL pipeline, French nuclear concerns, as well as the oil price jump on Monday after attacks on Saudi Arabia's processing facilities.
* On Tuesday, Brent crude, carbon and coal traded lower, with bearishness spreading to gas markets.

* "The last few days' upside was again an overreaction and we should see some risk abate," said a source in the UK gas market.
