Emissions Trading / Carbon Market News (2018-04-03)

Dear Sir or Madam,

The impending escalation of the trade conflict between the USA and China has the potential to place a lasting burden on the world economy. Now that the US government has imposed punitive tariffs on steel imports from China, Beijing has now imposed punitive tariffs of up to 25% on imports of 128 US products. The Chinese government has selected the selection because it will specifically target typical Trump rural voters, especially as it relates to agricultural products.

Nonetheless, during the Holy Week, prices for European CO2 emission allowances continued to rise sharply, even breaking through the € 14 level last Wednesday to close on Thursday with a further 5.3% weekly gain of € 13.26 per EUA,

It remains to be seen whether the nervous macroeconomic environment will be able to force a correction of the bullish price before the end of the compliance submission deadline on 30.04.2018.
