Dear Sir or Madam,
The continued reluctance to buy due to political and economic risks had brought the price for European CO2 emission rights EUA to a new four-month low last week, which was just above the 23 euro mark. On Friday, however, prices recovered at the start of trading and ensured that the last week of trading ended with a weekly gain of more than 2%.
But it was not only the favorable purchase prices that motivated the buyers here, but also the report that the EU environment ministers were partially able to agree on measures to achieve climate neutrality in 2050, even if the topic will probably only be deepened by the European heads of government in December will be. Should a reduction target of 55% or even 60% be discernible as a reduction target for 2030, this should have a clearly bullish effect on the prices for EUA.
This week, a total of 14.4 million EUAs will be auctioned at the Leipzig EEX, followed by 21.7 million certificates in the coming week, which next Wednesday will also include 891,500 EUAA for aviation.
