Carbon Trading

ICE daily CER price continued its range trading and nervously kicked off this week with improvement to 1.99 EURO (+5.29%), with low volume and narrowing spreads.  The U.N. offset market is long at this point and economic challenges to growth in the Eurozone -- as well as regulatory steps to maintain the integrity of the Kyoto Protocol carbon credits market -- must be resolved before optimism can be found.
