Overview

IDEAcarbon Executive Brief analyses and interprets climate policy, carbon market trends and other key factors in order to give carbon market participants insight into price movements. It is a one-stop shop for the analysis of key carbon market data.  IDEAcarbon Executive Brief differs from its sister-publication, CARBONfirst, in that salient events are covered at the time of their occurrence. Covered weekly and produced entirely by IDEAcarbon analysts, the publication represents best-in-class analysis of news and policy as it happens.

Product Description

The Executive Brief includes:

• Short term trading strategy ideas for the carbon market
• A week-ahead technical view of the most liquid carbon instruments, i.e. front year EUAs and CERs
• Context setting explanations of major policy decisions that will have immediate and longer term impacts on the carbon markets
• Insights into the main energy products that impact carbon prices
• The IDEAcarbon weekly pCER Price Index, a weekly survey of the risk appetite of buyers and sellers of primary carbon credits
• The IDEAcarbon Voluntary Carbon Index
• The Carbon Calendar™ which brings together information and analysis about market events, policy processes and key conferences

Use Cases

• Carbon portfolio manager: The Executive Brief reports on verifier activity, CDM EB pronouncements, and technicals driving the carbon markets-- and ultimately pricing of carbon assets.
• Carbon traders: Analysis of news is more important than re-hashing of it. The Executive Brief clarifies understanding and puts forward IDEAcarbon's house view when appropriate. The Brief assists desk strategists in their work or trading desks that have no strategists on staff.
• Non-carbon commodities market participants: Knowledge of price drivers for the carbon markets can assist in trading strategies for crude oil, electricity, natural gas, and other commodities. The Executive Brief integrates other commodities into the broader picture and provides technical analysis and trade recommendations.
