DUESSELDORF, March 11 (Reuters) - Forward prices suggest that markets expect a short-term conflict in the Middle East region, where the United States and Israel have started a war on Iran, the CEO of German state-owned utility Uniper UN0k.DE said on Wednesday.

While forward prices for gas and power in 2026 show a clear upward trend, the impact on prices for 2027 and 2028 was smaller or not existent, Michael Lewis told journalists after presenting full-year results.
