Emissions Trading / Carbon Market News (15/03/2021)

Dear Sir or Madam,

The past week of trading was marked by the gigantic US aid program, which provided the already optimistic financial markets with further tailwind. US President Joe Biden plans to distribute US $ 1.9 trillion to get the US economy back on track for growth.

The Dow Jones then rose sharply, which was a new all-time high of 32,793 points on Friday. The DAX also hit a new all-time high of 14,595 points last week.

This optimism also prevailed for CO2 emission rights in European emissions trading, which also reached a new all-time high last Friday at EUR 42.90 per EUA.

At the start of trading today, this was topped again at EUR 42.92 in the December future, but the price fell a little in early trading.

This week, 15,091,500 EUAs will be auctioned again on all five trading days from the EU, Poland and Germany and on Wednesday an additional 614,500 EUAA of the fourth trading period for the first time.
