| Gas prices trade higher this morning as carbon has increased and Norwegian flows into the UK are weaker as the Troll gas field is undergoing annual maintenance. The UK gas system has fallen short as a result, although LNG supply remains strong. | Coal and oil markets continue to rise this morning which has helped to support the power curve, with carbon also displaying additional gains. Short-term fundamentals are bearish but the power curve is dictated by commodity markets today. |
