The carbon market is still lagging behind the European gas and power markets in terms of bearish conviction. But we are slowly making progress. Although the markets are reasonably correlated most of the time, each product has to be treated as its own individual beast. By the way, the Clever Markets TA Academy starts in under a month.

I was surprised to see this video of me teaching a course in LNG trading some years ago pop up on Commodity Trading Club. I spend more time with Energex advising companies on developing and growing their LNG and oil trading businesses these days but still teach with twotwofive and at ICE from time to time. #LNG #Trading #Trader #gastrading #oiltrading

These principles need to be taken into account when Sri Lanka-based carbon credit projects are developed for VCMS in the future. Carbon credits are traded as over-the-counter as well as exchange-traded transactions. Voluntary Market Carbon Credits are treated as tradable commodities and also form the underlying assets in listed Derivative contracts. There are applicable regulations of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission that need to be considered.

➡ The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) recently made a significant move by approving the first-ever guidelines for trading voluntary carbon credit derivative contracts. ➡ These new guidelines apply specifically to Designated Contract Markets (DCMs), which are derivatives exchanges regulated by the CFTC. The guidance outlines key factors that DCMs should consider to ensure compliance with certain Core Principle requirements under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and CFTC regulations. ➡ This move marks an important step in bringing more structure and oversight to the trading of voluntary carbon credits, a market that has so far developed largely outside of government regulation. ➡ Voluntary carbon credit derivative contracts are financial instruments that derive their value from carbon credits—units that represent the right to emit one metric ton of carbon dioxide or an equivalent amount of greenhouse gases. ➡ These contracts allow traders and other market participants to hedge against or speculate on the future price of carbon credits, similar to traditional derivative contracts in commodities or financial markets. ➡ The CFTC's action comes amid growing calls for stricter regulation of voluntary carbon markets due to concerns over issues like quality and double counting of carbon credits. ➡ By providing this guidance, the CFTC aims to enhance the integrity of the market by cracking down on potential price manipulation and ensuring that DCMs uphold rigorous standards. ➡ CFTC Chair noted that the Commission’s mission, which focuses on risk mitigation and price discovery, places it at the intersection of global financial markets and efforts to combat climate change. #carbonmarkets #cftc #sustainability #carboncredits #climatefinance #environmentalregulation #greenfinance #derivatives #carbontrading #marketoversight #climateaction #decarbonization #voluntarycarbonmarkets
