| Gas contracts continue to move down this morning, with coal, carbon and power markets also displaying losses. Oil has rebounded slightly from yesterday’s decrease, while temperatures over the next fortnight have been revised higher which should reduce demand. | Energy markets remain bearish this morning, with power, gas, coal and carbon all easing down and oil the only market to display a rebound.
