Reports from Gassco yesterday announced the unplanned outage at the Asgard field will last 3-4 weeks instead of the original 2 weeks. The rise in oil and coal prices was also supportive. | Power margins were corrected downwards yesterday, Q4-18 contracts rose again rather sharply, as power markets are driven by tight short term fundamentals. |
