SO2 Hits New High

SO2 prices hit an all-time high this month of $735/ton. This price continues a trend where volatility has increased as the result of fluctuating fuel prices; pending regulation; and a continued decrease in the SO2 bank. In addition, this month also witnessed a lack of supply as we head towards the close of the compliance year, again influencing the upward price trend. In the forwards markets, several trades occurred with market participants trying to buy some value with the spot vintage trading a small premium
 
over the vintage 07 and 09 allowances. As a point of interest, the November 25, 2003 MPI had SO2 at $204.62!

True Up Period For NOx Draws to a Close: Prices Find Continued Support

The period for “true-up” of NOx accounts for the 2004 Ozone season draws to a close, November 30. This month saw a large volume of transactions, with a substantial quantity of odd lots trading as buyers and sellers settled their short and long positions. Despite an
 
influx of tons offered for sale, prices remained strong between $2250 and $2350/ton. Price support was found in Buyers entering the market to purchase for true-up by November 30, and those gambling on the flow control ratio vs. future-vintage-values afforded by vintage 2004 EA carryover for use in future years.


NOx Interest Shifting to Later Vintages

As the end of the true-up period for vintage 2003 NOx EAs approached, interest shifted to vintage 2004 and 2005 NOx EAs. Also late compliance buyers moved into the vintage 2003 market. While volume was good, the cool summer seems to have kept many potential buyers on the sidelines.
