NOx Market Awakens

The beginning of the month shaped up much like the holiday season; sleepy and focused on the holidays. Trading was relatively directionless with values in the low 3000’s for 05 and 06 vintages. As fossil fuel values starting climbing again from their December 2004 lows, NOx values increased to new seasonal highs of 3650 in the closer vintages, and 2950 in the 07 vintage. Traders also instituted several option trades in 05 and 06 NOx vintages with small premiums collected for slightly out of the money calls and puts. At months
 
end, the market had some of the busiest days in months with spreads trading between v05 and v06 at flat (when v05 had been at a 200 dollar premium earlier in the month), and several more options trading (v06 4000 calls and v05 3400 puts). The market may be preparing itself for an increase in volatility as traders try to estimate when NOx naturals will return in force, and which direction they will send v05 and v06 values.
