| Gas prices showed a slight recovery yesterday, following minor rebounds on commodity markets. Upward movement along the gas curve was limited by a milder weather outlook, although a slight drop in wind levels was forecast for today, increasing gas-fired power demand. | Power prices climbed higher during Tuesday’s session with direction provided by a rise in gas, coal, carbon and feedstocks which were all dictated by the oil market. The prompt found some support from an expected drop in renewables today, although levels should remain healthy overall. |
