Crude prices continued to climb on Wednesday, with Brent settling in the USD 51/barrel range for the first time since early March. WTI made it three consecutive days of gains after closing 0.4% higher to hit USD 47.82/barrel.
Gas, coal and the European carbon price failed to match crude, with all returning to the red.
The European carbon price fell by 1.2% to close at EUR 31.63/tonne after hitting an all-time high on Tuesday. European gas futures also crashed, with month-ahead UK NBP and Dutch TTF falling by 4.4% and 4.8% to close at the equivalent of USD 6.37/MMBtu and USD 5.85/MMBtu, respectively. On the other side of the Atlantic, US gas benchmark Henry Hub recorded a marginal loss of 0.2%.
