Carbon Trading

ICE daily CER price dropped significantly on news of 17.6 million new ERUs printed and sold in Ukraine, closing down at 1.70 EURO (-6.08%).  With no new demand and constant new ERU and CER supply hitting the market, one can expect more downward price pressure on U.N. carbon credits and also for spreads to widen between ERUs and CERs during coming weeks.
