| Gas prices moved higher during Friday’s session with the larger gains displayed towards the back of the curve. A recovery on oil markets offered support to the far-curve, while a milder and windy weather forecast for the second half of the month helped to limit upward movement on the near-curve. | Power contracts followed their gas counterparts on Friday and moved higher, although a windy weather outlook helped to pressure down the prompt. A milder weather outlook also helped to cap gains on the rest of the near-curve, while longer dated contracts were dictated by stronger oil. |
