| Gas prices displayed little movement yesterday with only minor changes displayed earlier in the session. Oil prices climbed higher, limiting any losses, while carbon moved in the opposite direction, creating mixed sentiment. | Power contracts moved down across the curve on Tuesday, with bearish pressure provided by a significant drop in carbon. An uptick in renewable generation helped to weigh on the prompt, with an expected rise in temperatures also a factor. |
