| Gas contracts shed from their price on Tuesday, continuing to follow the broader energy complex and falling equity markets, resulting in talk of a possible recession. Losses were not as significant as previous sessions but an expected rise in demand today offered additional support to the prompt. | Power prices were the most impacted by a significant drop in carbon, with an EUA auction cancelled due to low demand. Carbon continues to fall as emissions have dropped across Europe due to measures taken to control the current Coronavirus pandemic. |

Stock markets are down by 3% according to recent reports with no support for prices in sight. |
