Gas and Power

Power and gas prices closed at their lowest level of the month on Friday after news emerged that the US and Russia were planning a deal to secure territory in Ukraine, with a summit potentially as early as this week. The absence of new US sanctions, despite Friday being the deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire, eased market concerns and fuelled hopes for constructive talks in the days ahead.

Investors responded positively to a series of key information, including strong corporate earnings results, retail sales data, and a rate cut from the Bank of England.
