Uniper’s commodity trading boosts 9-month results on volatile prices

FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Volatile gas prices boosted Uniper’s commodity trading desk and caused a 52% increase in nine-month adjusted operating profit, the German utility majority owned by Finland’s Fortum said on Friday.

Apart from rising gas prices, Global Commodities — which include Uniper’s trading and plant optimisation activities — benefited from unusual weather conditions in North America, Uniper said.
