Today, 13 March 2009, is the first day of trading of ECX’s spot-like contracts, the EUA and CER Daily Futures contracts, listed for trading on ICE Future Europe’s electronic trading platform. EUA Daily Futures contracts (’Spot’ ), or simply EUA daily futures, are exchange-traded cash contracts. Daily Futures Contracts will be physically delivered by the transfer of EU Allowances from the Seller to the Buyer. The newly launched (13 March 2009) EUA Daily Futures contract provides additional flexibility for companies active in carbon markets to manage risk and monetise their allowances.  In contrast to the traditional EUA Futures contract,  the EUA Daily Futures offers next-day payment and delivery of the underlying unit of trade (EUA).  Click here to check CERs that are eligible / ineligible for delivery on ECX.   Read more
