Energy Hedge Fund Center Launches Major New Study into Global Energy Markets

Houston, TX and New York, NY. (ContentDesk) March 22, 2006 -- The Energy Hedge Fund Center, LLC (EHFC) has announced a major new multi-client study into global energy markets. The study will review all energy and environmental commodity financial markets with the ultimate objective of definitively classifying and sizing those markets. It will examine structural change in the markets, new trading instruments and exchanges, as well as examining global markets for crude oil, refined products, natural gas, electric power, emissions, and other commodities.Global energy trading is rapidly recovering from any impacts it sustained as a result of the collapse of the North American Energy Merchants that impacted natural gas and electric power markets considerably, said Mr. Peter C.

Fusaro, Co-Principal, EHFC. Additionally, new exchange-based clearing mechanisms, instruments and intra-commodity relationships have emerged that have reduced barriers to entry, increased market liquidity and impacted risks. With the recent entry and reemergence of investment banks, hedge funds and multinational oil companies as investors in energy commodities, these markets have dramatically changed over the last 4-5 years. Indeed, we would argue that there has been a structural change in energy markets.The study is the first global market assessment of energy trading. It will facilitate a comprehensive look at energy and environmental financial markets and will be undertaken by renowned energy trading analysts and EHFC Co-Principals, Peter C.

Fusaro and Dr. Gary M. Vasey. This study was essentially prompted by the calls that we receive on a daily basis at the energy hedge fund center, said Dr. Gary M.

Vasey. The size of energy financial markets is a question everyone asks but no one really can provide the answer.
