V05 NOx drops with the start of Ozone season

The 2005 NOx Ozone season started May 1 as spot prices continued to drop. The Northeast and Midwest have been experiencing a chilly month of May and bid support for V05 has been weak. V05 prices are down $265 this month and last traded at $2750 today. However the spread between V05 and V06 NOx has widened to $400/ton. Many market players feel that there is an ample supply of V05 NOx EAs and are already speculating that Flow Control will be triggered this year.
 
S02 Falls

Spot S02 prices have dropped to $790 a ton, a down from its all time high of $880 in mid April. Trading has been sporadic as SO2 has taken a back seat to the beginning of NOx Ozone season. Many traders have also been focused on the WPS request for bids for their allocation of 500,000 allowances vintage 2005-2034. Word came on Monday that WPS has indeed agreed to sell the EAs to multiple buyers.
