Dear Sir or Madam,
Even during the third week of April, the carbon market remained unchanged in the hands of the bulls. This is traditionally the case, since for all companies included in the ETS the deadline for the compliance to surrender allowances ends. However, the price level of European pollution rights this year is spectacular. Since the beginning of the month, the market has gained up to six euros and has been relatively stable for two weeks within a price range between 26 and 28 euros.
However, already at the premature weekly close last Thursday, a number of traders took their profits in view of the upcoming holiday period, pushing the price down by just one euro compared to the peak at EUR 27.85. Against this background and with a comparatively full auction calendar, the price is likely to consolidate further this week.
