Carbon Trading

ICE daily CER price fell again to 0.73 EURO (-5.90%).  The market remains significantly long and participants seem to be pinning their hopes on supply constraint decisions which could take a long time to materialize.  In the meantime expect more CER and ERU volume to hit the market between now and year end, coupled with even cheaper forms of UN offsets, pushing prices down and making a rally difficult.
