EU just auctioned 3.2 million carbon permits at 76.96 euros each. That is a pretty standard weekly auction for the EU ETS. Price is holding above 75 which is interesting given all the policy noise lately.

Yeah the price has been range bound between 70 and 80 for a while now. Auction volumes like this are routine but they do give a nice snapshot of where the market actually clears.

The interesting part is how this price feeds into the carbon border adjustment mechanism. Importers are watching these auction prices to calculate their CBAM obligations.

Does anyone know if this auction was for general allowances or was it specifically for aviation or something else? The article is pretty light on details.

Reuters just says spot carbon permits so likely general EUAs for stationary installations. Aviation permits are usually called EUAAs. Still would be nice to have confirmation.
