Market comment

Updated 5 November 2020

The European Continent will see very low wind levels for the next week (46) and rising spot prices, while temperatures will be slightly on the bearish side. For week 47, we see strongly increasing French consumption, normalizing wind power and increasing nuclear capacity.
               
The fuels and the corresponding SRMCs are quite bearish at the moment, mainly because of the Coronavirus situation. Thus the Month Ahead prices have been bearish lately, also influenced by improved French nuclear capacity and in particular bearish French Market.

In general, the market situation has not changed since the update on Tuesday 3 Nov.
