Dear Sir or Madam,
The past trading week was quite turbulent. European pollution rights prices ranged between € 12.67 and € 14.22 per ton of CO2, with the latter marking a new seven-year high last Monday. Towards the end of the trading week, after a weak auction demand, the price nearly lost the previous week’s plus, but closed above an important support line just above EUR 13 per EUA.
In the past year, global CO2 emissions trading revenues increased by 45% to $ 32 billion. This includes, among other things, income from CO2 taxes as well as proceeds from the auctioning of emission allowances in global CO2 trading.
On Monday of next week, the deadline for the previous year ends in mandatory European emissions trading. Thus, companies subject to commercial duty still have a few days left to cover themselves with certificates, but in some circumstances they should consider a possible transfer time frame when making their purchase decisions, insofar as the certificates do not come from a trading account. Even if the certificates are transferred from a trading account, the transfer time may be 26 hours, as long as the recipient account is not included in the sender’s trust account list.
