Carbon Trading

ICE daily CER price dropped significantly again as the market still reels from 17.6 million new ERUs hitting the market from Ukraine, closing down at 1.49 EURO (-12.35%).  With no new demand, no regulatory market support decisions in sight, and constant new ERU and CER supply expected to keep 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.
