German front-month power is tracking a weekly net increase of 0.5%, with support from a weekly rise in EU carbon allowances, while gas prices are currently down on the week. Closer in, prices on Sunday are likely to fall in negative territory with expectations of negative residual load amid lower demand and surging wind output.
