| Coal, carbon, oil and power markets are trading higher this morning which has transferred to the gas curve. However, a downward correction cannot be ruled out as trading activity will be reduced due to the upcoming Easter weekend. Meanwhile, the system is slightly short despite weaker demand as flows into the UK are down. | Temperatures have risen as expected and a rise in solar power has offset a drop in wind levels, resulting in further losses on the near-curve this morning. Prices further along the curve are more resilient as a rise in coal, oil and carbon has offered support. |
