| Gas prices inched higher on Wednesday, with the front of the curve supported by an undersupplied system due to increased gas-fired power demand. Meanwhile, the overall energy complex was generally stable compared to previous sessions. | Power prices followed the gas market and increased yesterday, with a drop in wind levels resulting in a higher reliance on gas-fired power. A warm weather forecast helped to limit the gains, while commodity markets were flat. |
