| Gas prices remained bearish on Tuesday, following global commodities which saw a large sell-off due to weak oil demand and the US/ Chinese trade war. Oil and coal displayed strong losses, weighing on the far-curve, while planned maintenance in Norway limited losses at the front of the curve. | Power prices tracked the movement of gas yesterday, with coal, carbon and oil markets weakening further. The prompt also displayed a loss, as wind levels are expected to pick up over the next few days which will reduce reliance on gas. |
