| Gas continues to move higher this week on the back of a drop in temperatures and weaker renewable generation, increasing demand and tightening the system. Oil displays a small loss, while power and carbon offer support. | Commodities trade slightly higher this morning and renewable levels are much lower than the end of last week, resulting in gains along the power curve.
