Supply levels are also expected to improve in the coming weeks as Norwegian maintenance has ended and the LNG delivery schedule is healthy. | Power prices tracked movement on the gas curve and decreased during yesterday’s session, with weaker coal and carbon also adding to the bearish sentiment. However, some near-curve prices displayed slight gains on the back of an expected rise in gas-fired power demand. |
