Headlines This week, we observed mixed price movements. Largely, all gas contracts recorded losses, with day-ahead being the exception – rising 4.9% to 86.00p/th, following lower day-ahead wind outturn projections boosting gas-for-power demand forecasts. Similarly, day-ahead power rose 5.7% to £93.00/MWh, finding support from its gas counterpart, however gains were subdued by reduced day-ahead demand […]
Headlines This week, gas and power prices saw bullish sentiment further along the forward curve, as uncertainty surrounding Australian LNG supply remains elevated amid potential strike action that could impact European energy markets.
