Front office, sat with the traders. Close interaction with analysts across all desks will ensure that the impact of power markets across the EU, the developments in the oil, coal and gas markets, and the global carbon markets are assessed with regards to their impact on EUA price movements. The new position will therefore require a sound understanding of the interactions across the energy complex. The analyst is expected to develop a set of models that enables the desk to quickly assess the impact of news items, to run scenarios on changes in the price relation of primary fuels, assess new regulatory proposals and other developments in international carbon markets. The analyst must be able to extract valuable information from a vast set of inputs and form a cohesive view on the market. The results of this work will directly feed into the formulation of proprietary trading strategies that are run by the carbon and power desks.
