ACCU spot prices remained tightly rangebound last week, with our Generic ACCU (Market Close) assessment ending the week down 0.25/t WoW, closing at $35.45/t on trading into Friday’s close. SMCs re-emerged in the spot market, trading into a narrower discount, while November 2025 dated options lead derivatives volumes.

Elsewhere, DCCEEW announced the “Default Prescribed Unit Price” for FY25, with the government adopting RepuTex’s ACCU price benchmark to set the standard price for prescribed carbon units under the Safeguard Mechanism.
