Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The French President, Emmanuel Macron, was after the meeting in Paris optimistic, that US-President Donald Trump could stand again behind the Paris climate deal from 2015. He said to the weekly Journal du Dimanche, “Trump was listen to me. He said, that he will find a solution in the upcoming months.” Macron continued, that both Presidents was talking about the circumstances, how the United States of America could return to the Paris agreement. Macron explained, that Trump has understood the relations between global warming and terrorism.

This wouldn´t been the first change of direction from the US-President, but in the face of nearly four times more jobs in the renewable energy sector towards the coal industry, it would be possible, that Trump could see these numbers.

On August 1^st, 2017 the reduced auction volume during the summer holiday period, which is nearly halved, the stronger crude oil prices and the sustainable breakthrough of important chart resistances made the European Emission Allowances EUA stronger once again for 8 Cents on weekly basis. The EUA closed last week by 5.41 Euro per ton. If the market environment remains positive, a renewed plunge below the 5-Euro-Level should remain undone next days.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The clear upward movement on the carbon market did not seem to lead to a sustainable change in trend at the beginning of last week. The price ranged from EUR 5.10 to EUR 5.20 clearly above the five-euro mark, but a weak auction result and a rather restrained trading on Thursday indicated a bearish market development. Then, however, a very strong auction on Friday surprised the market participants and then triggered a rally that pushed the price in the direction of 5.50 EUR. In today’s early trading, this mark could even be overcome in the short term and the market recorded a 4-month high with a peak at EUR 5.53.

The most violent rainfalls since the beginning of the weather records has haunted the southwest of Japan in recent days. Massive destruction caused by landslides and flooding has cost already 18 lives, many are still missing. At the same time devastating forest fires are raging in the US state of California. After some weeks ago the Governor had declared a five-year drought period to be finished, the temperatures rose locally above 40 degrees. It seems like a bad joke that Donald Trump is still stubbornly clings to his notice of resignation from the Paris climate protection agreement and thus provoked a 19-to-1 final declaration at the G20 summit.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The past trading week was marked by a – at least temporary – turnaround on the oil market and an overall positive energy complex. As a result, the carbon market, which was already quite stable, also rose significantly, and on Thursday finally also surpassed the five-euro mark, which the market had left a good week ago. However, the market does not appear to be ready for real heights. With peak values ??between EUR 5.12 and EUR 5.14, the air became clearly too thin for the dealers and the price consolidated at around EUR 5.05.

Last Tuesday, the second so-called trialogue negotiations between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission took place in preparation for the further legislative process on the arrangement of the fourth trading period from 2021 onwards. There have been reported some important agreements, in particular around the carbon-leakage measure. The fact that the next meeting was already scheduled for next Monday suggests that there is now a lot more momentum in the procedure.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The already foreseeable further price decline on the oil market has pushed the price in the past week actually under the mark of 45 USD and thus to a seven-month low.

This alone would have been reason enough to pull the carbon price into the depths. In addition, a total of 22.1 million fresh certificates came on the market in the five auctions on the EEX. These achieved very fluctuating results, partly with 15 cent price difference from one day to the other. Overall, the average auction result, at around EUR 4.90, fell significantly short of the results of the past few weeks.

Despite this, the price of the European pollution rights remained surprisingly stable and closed only 3 cents weaker during the week’s comparison. Since, however, there are not many reasons at the moment of such a stable price level, the buyers mentality seems to be more medium-to-long-term and a price around the five-euro mark appears attractive enough to cover up further.

And then a short look at the weather – one enjoy it, the other is complaining, but the weather has never been cared for. The fact is that the WMO (the United Nations main body responsible for the interaction of meteorology with the earth’s atmosphere, the oceans and the climate) is currently warning about a global heat wave. The devastating forest fires in Portugal, heat records in Spain and a top value of 54 degrees Celsius in Pakistan are eloquent witnesses alone in June. The first five months of this year were, on average, the second warmest since the beginning of the records – warmer it was only 2016.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The decline in oil prices continued unabated in the past week. And again, news coming from the United States weighed on the price. This is due not only to the already known factors, namely the high inventories and the increasing production of fracking oil on. As is known recently, over the past 22 weeks, the number of boreholes for classical crude oil has also steadily increased and has currently reached the highest level since more than two years. Because effective countermeasures are not realistic, it just seems to be a matter of time when the 45-dollar mark will be again broken.

The CO2 market also recorded more easily in the wake of the oil price in the last week, but did not break through the previously stable support at EUR 4.87. The very low auctioning volume last week did not seem to have any effect on the market, especially as this week with an additional auction of Polish certificates on Wednesday the calendar is again well filled. In terms of the chart, a showdown between bulls and bears is currently at hand, as the downward trend of the past few weeks is slowly approaching the support line.
