| Gas prices decreased yesterday as a mild start to December is expected and wind levels are set to improve as we head towards the weekend, reducing reliance on gas-fired power. Further bearish sentiment was also provided by a drop in coal and carbon. | Power prices were pressured down by weaker gas, coal and carbon markets during Tuesday’s session. A mild and windier weather outlook also helped to weigh on the front of the curve and contracts were close to erasing last week’s gains. |
