Volatility hits February Emissions markets

February’s emissions markets were volatile on some days and very quiet on others. Prices started off the month at higher levels than at the end of the month with many traders awaiting more government data later this spring.

NOx markets sold off in the middle of the month as traders and naturals liquidated positions in V05 and V06. Several trades also took place between the two vintages as
 
premiums for V05 disappeared and reversed to a 150 dollar discount to the later vintage. A large volume of trades occurred in V07 as that vintage is trading presently at a 500 dollar discount to V06. Traders continue to access values for the later vintages with relatively few trades taking place past V07. So2 was also volatile as several days saw 50 dollar value swings between the low and high prints of the day. Market sources have said they are waiting for auction data later this year to decide which positions they want to hold going into the balance of the year.
 
Spot markets were mostly traded as very few traders were interested in concluding deals in V06 and V08.


SO2 True Up Time


SO2 participants should be careful to ensure that their SO2 compliance accounts are balanced by February 28, 2005.

EPA SO2 Auction

- EPA’s annual SO2 EA auction will occur on March 28, 2005. While this has become an annual event, the convergence of the auction along with SO2 EA price volatility could provide interesting market outcomes in the following month. This is especially true as EPA’s auction is carried out as a “sealed bid” auction rather than an “open outcry” auction (which occurs in the day-to-day SO2 EA market) where price discovery is more transparent.
