Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Some speculations at the currency market, that European Central Bank would end their easy monetary policy sooner than expected, moved the Euro to a three-year-high on more than 1.21 US-Dollar. Since the End of 2015, the US-Federal Reserve brought the interest up step-by-step, which brings more pressure to the European monetary watchdogs more and more.
In the United States, Banks are paying around two percent more interest than in Germany for example, and some financial analysts are seeing the time is coming, that ECB will turn their monetary policy into normality.
The quotes for European carbon emission allowances moved more sideward last week and closed with a small plus at 7.83 per ton carbon. Last weeks price range was between 7.60 and 7.83 Euro. At the moment, the eight-Euro-level seems to be a hard barrier since it was broken downside at the first trading day of this year.
