| Near curve gas prices have eased down this morning on the back of a milder weather forecast for the rest of the month and the conclusion of maintenance at North Sea facilities. However, carbon markets continue to climb higher, offering support to longer dated contracts. | Wind generation remains low and this is expected to continue tomorrow, helping the prompt add to its price. A healthier outlook for gas supply helped to limit upward movement on the rest of the near curve, while the far curve was supported by bullish EUA carbon allowances. |
