Carbon Trading

ICE daily CER price saw another day of cautious gains, reaching 1.07 EURO (+5.94%).  This can be viewed as consolidation after several weeks of the market getting pummeled.  Carbon is still long and positive sentiment about a 1.2 billion EUA set aside in the EU ETS can be instantly lost as soon as one nation publicly states is won't support the motion - which must be unanimous to become binding.
