| Carbon credits increased by over €2 yesterday which helped to lift energy markets, including gas. Coal and oil markets were mostly flat but gas contracts followed their power counterparts, with a weak renewables outlook lifting the prompt. | Power markets found strong support from a rise in EUA carbon credits during Monday’s session. Oil and coal were practically unchanged, while warm temperatures and weak renewable generation forecasts resulted in a gain on the prompt. |

| Gas prices display minor gains this morning, with coal and oil markets continuing to offer little in the way of direction. Meanwhile, the prompt has moved down with an expected rise in wind & solar availability tomorrow. | Power prices are stable-to-bearish this morning as upward movement on carbon markets has calmed.
