ICIS is Pleased to Announce a Webinar to Explain Why CCAs Should not Trade at the Price Floor

LONDON, December 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

As part of the series of free market information ICIS provides, we will be hosting a webinar on 9 January  at 11am PST to explain why CCAs should not trade at the price floor.

Jan Frommeyer, Director Market Analysis at ICIS and experienced carbon market analyst , will explain his view on price formation in emissions trading schemes. The webinar will walk you through why behaviour is key to understanding price developments and why just using the fundamental balance comes up short.

Our ICIS analysis team will teach you what you need to know to gain an edge and help you understand why California Carbon Allowances should continue to trade above the price floor.
