| This morning, gas is trading around the close of business prices from yesterday. The system is marginally long, coal and carbon are slightly down along with crude, stock in Europe are also down on tightening travel restrictions and the corresponding hit to the tourism industry. A bearish outlook is held for the coming days. | Expectations of rising wind output and fading temperatures lowering the power demand for cooling systems should weigh on the power spot prices next week. Further out, contracts across the curve have mostly opened lower than yesterdays close. |
