NOx NEWS

Market Turned Around - For the first time in several months, we can report that the NOx market has most certainly turned around. After trading at low prices of $500/ton for vintage ‘99s and $720/ton for vintage ‘00s, prices have risen, respectively, to $725/ton and $975/ton at press time. In fact, over 2000 tons have traded since the last market bulletin on October 5, 1999. Increased comfort with PFC, compliance buying for vintage ’99 reconciliation, and dramatic increases in compliance buying for vintage ’00, combined with seller resistance to sell at lower levels, have converged to cause the price upswings.

PFC Clarified - Prompted by Cantor Environmental Brokerage’ October 5, 1999 NOx Budget Market Bulletin, regulators from Ozone Transport Commission States, U.S. EPA, and OTC elected to hold a October 20, 1999 conference call to discuss the possibility that Progressive Flow Control (PFC) may indeed be a reality in the year 2000. Andy Kruger of Cantor Fitzgerald participated in the call. As a result of the call, regulators worked to establish a clear explanation of PFC to provide to market participants, so that market concerns could be minimized and a clear, uniform explanation could be provided. The bottom line is that PFC works as we informed you in our 10/5/99 bulletin. Please call us: a) if you would like assistance in understanding PFC and how it works; b) if you need another copy of the 10/5 Bulletin; and/or c) to discuss how you can hedge your risk. Cantor Fitzgerald is proud to have played a role in prompting these parties to get together to dispel confusion that has impacted the market. At Cantor Fitzgerald, we work hard to do more than be just another broker; we want to be your information resource.

How is the MPI Derived? The MPI, in $/ton, is derived by averaging the following:
1) the Best Bid - the highest price at which a buyer is willing to purchase at least 5 tons of NOx Allowances.
2) the Best Offer - the lowest price at which a seller is willing to sell at least 5 tons of NOx Allowances.
3) the Most Recent Trade - the price(s) at which NOx Allowances have been agreed to be transacted (NOTE: NOx Allowances have not yet been placed in Budget Sources' NATS Accounts, and thus trades cannot yet be "transacted". Until such time, the "Most Recent Trade" represents buyer(s) and seller(s) agreement(s) on price).
