June 7, 2022-Since Tuesday, a new exchange-traded commodity issued by HANetf in cooperation with SparkChange is tradable on Xetra and via Börse Frankfurt.
The Spark Change Physical Carbon EUA ETC offers investors direct access to carbon dioxide emission certificates of the European Union (EUA) for the first-time by replicating the spot price of physical emission certificates. The ETC is physically hedged by holding the emission allowances.

Emissions allowance trading serves as an instrument to mitigate climate change and is used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Companies that emit carbon dioxide (CO2) must hold certificates equal to their emissions by obtaining them directly from the EU or buying them from other companies. The number of emission certificates emitted by the EU is limited.

Retail Investing Surge Cushions Economic Downturn and Calls for Adequate Reforms

June 1, 2022--Over the last two years, health-related restrictions and economic shutdowns had unforeseen effects on European capital markets. An increase in disposable income available for EU households to invest, and at least four and a half million[1] previously inactive EU savers now investing in the real economy and trading in financial instruments, has created a new generation of "retail" investors in the EU.

What's more, is that these developments came on the back of increased investor activism (and interest in shareholder engagement) and in the wake of disruptive FinTech business models that make investing a much more attractive and accessible proposition for EU households, bringing them closer to capital markets.

Three headaches for the European Central Bank

May 31, 2022--Even though inflation in the euro area is lower than in the US, three issues make it a lot more difficult for the ECB to control inflation and preserve financial stability. Once again, the limits of EMU architecture are visible and will require a rethink.
In its latest forecast published on 16 May, the European Commission expects inflation in the euro area to be 6.1% and growth 2.7% in 2022.

The last forecasts published by the ECB on the 10 March, predicted inflation and growth at 5.1% and 3.7% respectively. These are big revisions for such a short time span and they of course reflect the implications of the war in Ukraine.
