Spectron’s integrated phone/screen OTC marketplace offers clients the ability to trade a variety of products, including: API#2 CIF ARA swaps, APII#4 FOB ARA swaps, implied freight and dark spreads. Typically markets are discussed and traded for up to three years forward.
Spectron strives to assist all counterparties involved in the supply, transportation, trading and consumption of coal with their hedging strategies, as increasingly these companies are looking at financial derivatives as well as physical transactions to manage their risk and increase their flexibility. Among Spectron’s initiatives in this area, it has been instrumental in developing the 'soot' or 'dark' spreads market (the trading of the differential between coal and power prices). This is being viewed increasingly by risk managers as an ideal way of securing margins at coal-fired power plants.
