Carbon Trading

The ICE daily CER continued to trade as a political option with notional pricing, with no price movement (having lost 10 Eurocents over the five previous days).  It finished the day at 0.21 EURO (unch%).  The rest of the market remains beneath this price and ERUs are trading around 30% of this price.  Too many ERUs and CERs already flood the market and more are printed every month.
