EMISSIONS: EU End-Of-Day Carbon Summary: EUAs/UKAs Rise On TTF, Equities Gains

Jul-03 15:34

EUAs/UKAs Dec25 are trending upward amid mix influence from both TTF and STOXX, with carbon holding onto gains driven up by TTF in the morning, while briefly tightened intraday correlation with STOXX in the afternoon following the release of higher-than-expected US job growth data. 

  • EUA DEC 25 up 0.26% at 72.12 EUR/t CO2e
  • UKA DEC 25 up 0.71% at 48.49 GBP/t CO2e
  • TTF Gas AUG 25 up 0.2% at 33.655 EUR/MWh
  • NBP Gas AUG 25 down 0.5% at 79.74 GBp/therm
  • Estoxx 50 up 0.3% at 5336.97
  • Correlation between EUA/TTF for 30-day period at 0.14.
  • Correlation between EUA/STOXX for 30-day period at 0.26.
  • Correlation between EUA/UKA for 30-day period at 0.74.
  • Correlation between UKA/FTSE100 for 30-day period at 0.44.
  • The EUA Dec25 premium to the UK equivalent remained at a similar level at €15.84/t CO2e.
  • The latest EU ETS CAP3 auction cleared at €70.52/ton CO2e, up 2.19% compared with the previous EU auction at €69.01/ton CO2e according to EEX.
  • ICE EUA futures have recovered from Monday’s low. Despite these gains, a short-term bearish threat remains in place for now. Recent weakness has resulted in a breach of a number of support points. This undermines a recent bull theme and note too that support at €69.60, the May 19 low, has also been breached. A clear break of this level would highlight a stronger reversal. First resistance to watch is €74.57, the Jun 24 high.
  • BNEF has revised down its 2030 EUAs forecasts from €147/t to €126/t, following the EC announcing that it plans to use the revenues generated by CBAM to compensate heavy industries under EU ETS, it said.
  • TTF holds steady with the forecast of warm weather in mid-July set against muted demand in Asia so far this year. European LNG imports remain healthy and Norwegian maintenance season is coming to an end, while the Floating LNG terminal Energos Force, originally leased to Germany, is now bound for Egypt.
  • EEX will launch EU ETS 2 futures contracts on 7 July, including April and December expiry for the first three years of the new scheme, with the earliest expiry offered for December 2027, it said.
  • EUA Auction Calendar Week Ahead (Calendar Week 28) -  A total of 13.4mn EUAs will be auctioned next week, with five auction sessions will be held. The latest EU ETS CAP3 auction cleared at €70.52/ton CO2e, up 1.5% w/w, rebounded from the lowest level since early May on 30 June, while the 10-day moving averages has broken down to be below 50-day moving averages for the first time since late May.

FED: Atlanta's Bostic Sticks To 1 Cut View For 2025, "Ways To Go" On Inflation

Jun-03 15:20

Atlanta Fed President Bostic on Tuesday reiterated his view expressed in the March Dot Plot that he expects one rate cut later this year - "I don’t have any reason to think that my outlook is going to change radically... a lot of it will depend on how the uncertainty resolves itself. I’m going to stay diligent and take things on as they happen."

  • That said, tariffs could boost inflation in the near-term - with the persistence vs one-off impact of tariffs still an open debate - and in any case overall PCE remains above target so "there's still a ways to go in terms of the progress we're going to need to see". He noted local business contacts may be putting off price increases until later in the summer.
  • He was speaking to reporters after the release of a new essay, "Pervasive Uncertainty Calls for a Patient Policy Stance" (link) - the title of which basically says it all. As he writes, "As of April, we had not yet seen clear signs of tariffs boosting inflation, though research suggests we might see upward pressure on prices over the coming weeks."
  • He also notes in the essay, "Fiscal, tax, and regulatory policy are all likely to see big changes in the coming months as Congress works through its budget processes and the Trump Administration continues to implement its agenda. In each area, one could generate a list of questions as long as the set I just offered about trade. For now, neither I nor anyone has clear answers for any of these questions."
