Why CTWO is the Essential Afternoon Hedge for EUA Investors
We have been making the point that CTWO extends trading hours for European Union Allowances (EUAs) and investors are noticing. CTWO provided liquidity when the primary market had closed.
Tuesday proves the case:
· A rumor hit the wires shortly after 11:00 AM EST.
· With the primary market participants gone, EUA daily futures saw a drop from ~€81 down to mid €79s. In a thin market, even small orders can cause outsized price moves.
· Simultaneously, our data shows a spike in CTWO volume. Traders found liquidity and were able to react.
As CTWO trades on the NYSE Arca until 4:00 PM EST, it can act as the primary outlet for market participants after Europe closes. Yesterday we saw liquidity migrate to CTWO in the US after Europe closed to react to market moves.
Manage your European carbon risk in the afternoon using CTWO. Yesterday proved that CTWO isn't just a substitute; it’s the necessary liquidity bridge for the US trading session.
