     off  steep  price  surges  seen  in  gas  and  electricity   80
     markets.  The  decline  was  mainly  attributed  to  weak
     industrial  demand  and  mild  weather.  Although  prices   75
     rose  last  Friday,  profit-taking  and  speculation  about
     additional free allocations limited gains.           €/tonne  70

     Hence, EUAs expiring in Dec-26 dropped by 2% to 69.16   65
