Commodities continue to fall due to the effects of the Coronavirus, while a warmer weather outlook should weigh on gas demand. | Power prices followed their gas counterparts and traded down yesterday during a bearish session for energy markets. Warmer temperatures also weighed on the near curve, while renewables were almost unchanged. |
