Oil markets also continued on their bullish trend following a brief period of stability, helping far curve contracts add to their price. | Power prices rallied higher on Friday on the back of weak renewable generation, cold weather and tighter gas supply. Additional bullish pressure was provided by strengthening coal and oil, helping to lift longer dated contracts. |
