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.
