| Gas prices were bearish in the main during Wednesday’s session, pressured down by weakening coal and oil following a sell-off on stock markets. Recent cases of Coronavirus in Germany & South Korea pushed traders into cashing in on profits, fearing a new wave of the pandemic. | Power prices were dictated by lower coal, gas and feedstocks yesterday, with oil also displaying a loss. Cooler weather helped to lift demand but this wasn’t enough to result in gains on the near curve. |

| Gas prices have opened flat this morning with coal and oil markets displaying a rebound. The UK gas system is balanced and warmer temperatures are expected next week which will weigh on demand. | Fuel markets are bullish this morning, with feedstocks expected to follow a rebound in oil. An ease to the lockdown has also resulted in higher demand levels, limiting any downward movement on the power curve. |
