           Market News

Rule Announcements

The emissions markets continued their sideways trading in somewhat quiet sessions for the month of March. Where we started on March 1st is where we ended up March 24th. News of the EPA's Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and the Clean Air Mercury Rule has swept the market and traders and naturals are trying to evaluate what the effect of these new regulations will have on the future market prices. Several media sources are investigating reports that traders perceive higher allowance prices due to the stricter
 
regulations though it is hard to predict with CAIR being a few years away and the Clean Air Mercury Rule time frame being undetermined at this date.

NOx Market Sharply Unchanged

In the NOX markets, vintages 05 and 06 slipped off slightly in the middle of the month to the mid $3350 and $3500 levels respectively to rally back to the present levels of $3425 and $3525. Several traders were expecting some natural selling to enter the

 
market but as that possibility started to wane halfway through the month, prices began to edge up. Traders stepped in on a few key days in the 2nd half of the month to bid the nearby vintages higher to $3425 and $3525 levels. Vintage 07 traded $2925 late in the month in conjunction with the rally in the v05 and v06 markets.


SO2 Market Awaits Auction Results


In the spot S02 markets, trading was lighter and less volatile than the February trading period. Prices started the month in the mid $600's with several market participants putting pressure on the spot market. As traders and naturals anticipated the auction results at the end of March, prices began to edge up. As in NOX, there was an absence of natural sellers and traders took advantage of that situation to bid the SO2 markets to the highest levels in 2 months ($705 per ton). Market participants expect a quiet few days until the results are planned to be announced on March 29th. Early estimates for the price range of auction bids are approximately $680-$710 per ton.
