| Gas contracts on the near curve trade higher this morning due to an expected delay in LDZ deliveries as a shipping vessel has run aground in the Suez Canal, causing major disruption. Further out, weaker oil and carbon markets have offered some resistance. | Wind levels are expected to increase from tomorrow onwards which has helped the prompt record a loss this morning, although the rest of the curve has followed gas and displays gains. Movement further along the curve is more subdued due to a decrease on commodity markets. |
