In todays fast paced business environment, risk is everywhere and data security is
rapidly changing. However, few things remain unchanged: hacker will create more
sophisticated scripts to get around your security fortresses trying to steal your identity, money,
and corporate secrets while security software developers will improve their defense systems to
counter those concerns. In the last several years however, we have been dealing with a
completely new type of data privacy violation that pushes the boundaries of the software
industry and introduces a geopolitical aspect to data security. With Edward Snowdens
disclosures of widespread US spying on its own citizens, a big bad wolf of mass surveillance
has emerged making good old firewalls look like childrens toys. Data privacy has been
pushed to the level of international politics and concerns are risings towards the tangible
negative effects of US governments surveillance efforts.

Lets sum it up. The world finds out thatUS

intelligence has been collecting information
on all citizens and businesses that entered
the US legal space, or businesses touching
the interest of national security. Some take
it as good job, thank you for protecting us.
Others are not so joyful about it finding
violation of their personal and business
privacy unacceptable and contradictory to
basic legal rights. Then some countries start
a legal fight against these practices. The
Summary

Data
Partners
Market
Analysis
Acceptance of the new pact is not that

smooth throughout the EU. Germany, being
the most vocal among other state
members about the issue, has had multiple
run ins with the US authorities over
information monitoring. The newly released
Court decision failed to make Germanys
federal and regional data-protection
authorities any happier: they stated they
wouldnt approve any new transfers of data
to the US. Opponents to such a hard line
German position argue that data transfers
are crucial to carrying out daily business
operations and limiting such transfers would
cause market volatility.
Editorial
Following the Snowden disclosure in 2013,

the EU demanded changes to the Safe
Harbor agreement that allowed businesses
to move data generated by Europeans to
servers in the US. Ever since then, the EU
and the US have been negotiating updates
on it. In October 2015, the European Court
of Justice invalidated this agreement and
ruled that Europeans data was insufficiently
protected from national intelligence services

when transferred to the US. Following the
ruling, the EU and the US got into the
negotiations about the power given to the
national data protection authorities to
independently review and suspend data
transfers to the US. On October 26, 2015,
the EU announced that it had agreed in
principle with the US on a new trans-Atlantic
data-transfer pact; however European
officials are still looking for clear conditions
on how to ensure that these commitments
are binding enough to meet the courts
requirements and limits to the extent to
which the US intelligence services have
access to European personal data.
Editorial
Prior to loss of the publics naivet, the

general expectation was that data could be
shared only with authorization of the entity
producing this data. Apparently the US
National Security Agency(NSA) had another
opinion and pursued execution of their goals
and objectives with little regard given to what
was perceived to be information privacy.
Indeed, if there is no law defining these
boundaries, why not? Mass surveillance
practices have been in place for at least
a decade unknown to the general public.
Moreover, these practices have encouraged
development of very sophisticated spying
technology. It has been reported that this
technology is being built into software,
hardware, and electronic appliances that
we have been buying, renting and using in
the public domain. How much of this is true
is not for this particular discussion. For now,
lets just look at the reaction from the
governments of other countries.

discovery of the NSA sticking their nose in

other countries businesses on the
premise of national security put
relationships between these countries and
the US under severe stress. In addition, the
negotiations related to the US-EU
data-transfer pact created a breach
between Germany and more tolerant EU
member states. Now we have international
tension, loss of trust, and a completely new
legal framework. Yet being in embryonic
state, this framework has all signs of
transforming a self-regulating platform into
a completely new global business sector
with its law, regulators, service providers,
and an oversight system backed up by
enforcement, including sanctions. Skeptics
do not expect the NSA stepping too far from
its main premise of safeguarding the
interests of national security by continuing
on its course of global spying. As an
outcome, we enjoy the emergence of more
services stretching from new Apps
promising to protect us from electronic
spying, whether it is government, malicious
or just curious hackers to off-grid data
storage solutions. As a middle ground
between them, there are dedicated data
storage solutions, which guarantee that
your data is not out there somewhere in
the cloud, but instead is on private
servers. And there is another specialty that
is getting more traction: cryptography. The
development of cryptosystems that
include elements that render data
undecipherable should not fall into the
wrong hands is becoming a
serious business. <

The intraday prices are taken from the weighted average figures calculated for the continuous
trading in frequent intervals by EPEX SPOT. The figures shown on the EEX Transparency
Platform include the hourly contracts only, and are disclosed one hour after the passed
operational hour since intraday prices together with the actual in-feed of renewables impact
the actual power production of individual conventional generating units.
Nat Gas
The day-ahead auction for Switzerland closes daily at 11 am (CET/CEST) and for the joint
market area of Germany/Austria at 12 pm. Although the price determination will
immediately started after that gate closure and the results are published in accordance to the
auction rules at EPEX SPOTs website, the publication at the EEX Transparency Platform will
be done simultaneously with the disclosure of the forecasted in-feed of wind and solar energy
and the planned power production at 6 pm daily. This follows the fact that the day-ahead
auction prices together with the forecasted in-feed of renewables are main drivers for the
planned power production of conventional generating units.
Summary
Editorial
Power
The amount of the payment corresponds to the difference between the market price,
measured by the ID3-Price published by EPEX SPOT, and the amount of the cap. The Cap
Future is a financially settled derivatives contract developed against the backdrop of the
increasing generation of renewable energies, which cannot be planned reliably in advance.
This in turn, means that an increasing number of price peaks can occur on the German
Intraday Market. For example, the Cap Future enables marketers of wind energy to hedge
against high prices for compensating purchases should the wind yield prove to be lower than
expected. Operators of conventional, flexible power plants can hedge against the price peaks
to be expected in advance and, therefore, secure the expected revenues from price peaks.

2. Requiring that each organized market trigger shortage pricing for any dispatch interval
during which a shortage of energy or operating reserves occurs. In some markets a
shortage is required to last a minimum time period before shortage pricing is triggered. As a
result, there is a delay between the time when a system experiences a shortage of
energy and operating reserves and the time when prices reflect those shortages. The
proposed shortage pricing trigger reform will require a shortage of any duration to be
reflected in prices, and will thus compensate resources for the value of the services they
provide when the system needs energy or operating reserves.

1. Requiring that each organized market align settlement and dispatch intervals by settling
real-time energy and operating reserves transactions financially at the same time interval
that it dispatches energy and prices operating reserves. Currently, while all markets dispatch resources sub hourly, some settle those transactions based on an hourly integrated
price a price that equals the average price for all individual dispatch intervals across an
hour. The proposed settlement interval reform provides incentives for market participants
to follow commitment and dispatch instructions, make efficient investments in facilities
and equipment and maintain reliability.

to respond to the actual operating needs and properly reflect system conditions and costs to

Crude oil production data collected on the expanded survey are used as inputs to several EIA
products, including the Petroleum Supply Monthly and widely followed forecasts such as the
Short-Term Energy Outlook and the Annual Energy Outlook. Crude oil production data continue to be available in its prior locations on EIAs data pages and will also be presented on
EIAs Monthly Crude Oil and Natural Gas Production webpage alongside natural gas data from
the expanded operator survey. Later in 2015, EIA will include estimates of monthly crude oil
production by density, as measured by API gravity, for the individually surveyed states and the
federal Gulf of Mexico.
Metals
Estimates of U.S. oil production by EIA have been based in the past on tax and other
production data obtained directly from state agencies. Given the timetable for EIAs data
products, much of that information is lagged and incomplete at the time of initial publication.
For several states, the time from a particular months originally reported production volume
to when that same months reporting could be considered final (i.e., with no or very minimal
further revisions) is several months to well over a year. The survey-based approach improves
regional estimates by representing well over 90% of oil production in the United States.
Softs
The expanded Monthly Crude Oil, Lease Condensate, and Natural Gas Production Report
survey collects monthly oil production data from a sample of operators of oil and gas wells in
15 individual states and the federal Gulf of Mexico; production from all remaining states and
the federal Pacific is reported collectively in an other states category. The states and regions
individually surveyed include Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana,
New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, West Virginia,
Wyoming, and the federal Gulf of Mexico.

a freight net-forward from the FOB Northwest European assessment, using a basket of two
Worldscale flat rates; Amsterdam-Lome and Amsterdam-Lagos. The 2015 Worldscale flat
rate used to calculate the net-forward formula for the CIF assessment is $19.11/mt. This

It is highly possible that an ECA-compliant bunker fuel that features aspects of residual fuel
oils, which have traditionally been a component of bunker fuel, and less sulfur-intense
distillate fuels, will develop into the new market.

This new assessment is due to the introduction of sulfur emissions rules for vessels in the
Emissions Control Area around Northwest Europe.From January 1, 2015, ships traveling
within the Northwest European ECA have had to limit sulfur emissions from fuel to 0.1%, down
from the previous maximum of 1%, according to International Maritime Organization rules.

Platts Discontinues 1% bunker fuel Assessments

Finance
Effective September 1, 2015, Platts discontinues its Northwest European, Gibraltar,

Algeciras and Malta low sulfur (1% sulfur) bunker fuel assessments. Platts will continue to
assess low sulfur bunker fuel in the ports of Genoa and Piraeus reflecting the continuation of
regional coastal and domestic usage.

In January 2015, low sulfur fuel oil became largely redundant as a bunker fuel. In the wake of
the January 1, 2015 implementation of legislation from the International Convention for the
Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), which further limited the sulfur emissions from
ships operating within any Emission Control Area to a maximum of 0.1% from the previous
1%, bunker demand for 1% sulfur fuel oil largely disappeared. Demand for low sulfur bunker
fuel has generally been replaced by demand for marine gasoil, or other similar, ultra
low sulfur fuels.

Platts to Launch LNG DES Brazil Netforward
Coal
Platts proposes launching a netforward value to reflect the price of LNG

imported into Brazil effective October 1, 2015. Introduction of this assessment
was based on the observation Brazil is a regular buyer of LNG cargoes used to augment
its electricity production during periods when hydropower is insufficient to meet its
electricity demand.
Platts is proposing to publish on a daily basis the value of LNG on a DES Salvador de Bahia
basis, based on the existing Platts East Atlantic Marker (EAM) plus the freight to Salvador de
Bahia, Brazil. Consequently, Platts also proposes changing the basis port for its freight route
calculations to Brazil from Pecem to Salvador de Bahia
Softs
Metals
Freight
The netforward value will be published in US dollar per million British thermal units
($/MMBtu) each London business day, corresponding with the EAM,in the LNG Daily
publication and Platts Natural Gas Alert.
Finance
In addition, Platts will publish a number of corresponding price comparisons for relevant
markets and competing fuels.

Summary

Finance
This introduction is built up on the success of weekly options on Dutch stocks launched
in July 2010. This trend is in line with the overall interest for weekly options on the US and
European markets. Currently, Euronext offers weekly options on 14 individual shares listed in
Amsterdam. The key attraction of weekly options is that they cost less to trade than
longer-dated alternatives. Generally the premium payable on short-lived weekly options is
lower because its time value element is smaller. Weekly options can benefit from the volatility
of an individual share with short-term trading strategies.

The development towards large, cross-border bidding zones supports the efficiency of the
power system by integrating markets.

Renewables support needs to be increasingly market-based through feed-in-premium or

quota systems. Support levels should be determined through competitive mechanisms. A
more coordinated approach of renewables support in Europe is required.

Scarcity prices are an important ingredient to the market design. When scarcity prices are
used to value flexibility, they create significant opportunities for the market. A clear political
commitment against regulatory interference in market price formation is needed.

An economic downturn and the depreciation of the real against the US dollar have led to a
downturn in the Brazilian import programme, leading to questions over whether it will be
robust enough to support prices in the coming weeks. January-August imports were down by
10pc compared with a year earlier, and full-year imports could fall by as much as a fifth
compared with 2014. Suppliers of nitrogen, phosphate and potash products have had to

Iosco announced the results of its second annual review of the implementation of the PRA

the progress that has been evidenced to date, the commitment by the four main PRAs to
continue adhering to the PRA Principles, and to undergo independent external assurance
reviews, Iosco, the IEA, IEF and Opec do not believe that further annual implementation
reviews will be necessary at this time.

Strong U.S. stockpile data put a lot of pressure on WTI. In the 4th week of October 2014, U.S.
crude inventories rose much more than expected, while the rising U.S. dollar and falling
equity market also pressured oil. According to EIA, U.S. crude inventories rose by
7.11 million barrels, more than double the 2.7 million-barrel increase analysts expected.2
Consequently, a looming U.S. contango, or a situation in which futures contracts are
overpriced when compared to their fair, present values, may mean further losses for the
North American benchmark.

Global crude benchmarks reached their biggest quarterly loss since the summer of 2012. In
October 2014, Brent dropped due to weak demand and ample oil inventories. Brent reached
its lowest levels since 2010 after Saudi Arabia showed no sign of reducing its output in this
global gloomy economic condition. Dropped by nearly 25% since June, Brent prices
experienced more downward pressure after key OPEC producers signaled in mid-October that
they are unlikely to cut production.1
On the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), prompt-month contracts for Brent and
Western Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil plunged for the 4th month in a row to the lowest
levels of the past 12 months. By the end of the last Monday of October 2014, the prices of
Brent and WTI both dropped by 9%. When compared to the previous month, in October 2014
prompt-month contracts for Brent dipped just below $90 USD/Bbl to settle at $89 USD/Bbl.
Meanwhile, the prompt-month contract prices for WTI dropped to $85 USD/Bbl, $16 USD/
Bbl lower than the same time last year. In October 2014, data from NYMEX future settlements
showed that Brent and WTI hit their lowest price levels for the last 12 monthsBrent and WTI
traded at $17 USD/Bbl and $13 USD/Bbl below the last 12-month average. Furthermore, the
last 12-month averages for Brent and WTI on NYMEX dropped to $106 USD/Bbl and
$98 USD/Bbl, respectively. The Brent-WTI spread (represented by the purple area in the
graph above) reached $3 USD/Bbl this month, which was $ 5 USD/Bbl below the last
12-month average.

This is the 4th month in a row that crude oil prices faced an uphill battle against oversupply
and sluggish demand. According to Reuters, oil prices are down more than 25% since June
due to a saturated oil market and tepid global demand from Europe to China.3 Consequently,
energy analysts have slashed forecasts of world oil demand growth for next year as the global
oil benchmarks are approaching a 4-year low.
Petroleum
On the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), forward curves for Brent and Western
Texas Intermediate (WTI) prices fell in October 2014 for the next 24 months when compared
to September 2014. The average NYMEX Brent forward prices for delivery until November
2016 (represented by the blue line in the graph above) dropped by $10 USD/Bbl to
$91 USD/Bbl, while WTI (the red line) fell by $7 USD/Bbl to an average of $83 USD/Bbl for
the same delivery period. The Brent-WTI spread also dropped by 10% to $9 USD/Bbl (the
purple area) on average for the next 24 months.

consumption will be 86.5 Bcf/d this winter, 4.5 Bcf/d lower than last winters average
consumption of 91.0 Bcf/d. The reduction in EIAs forecast comes mainly from the residential
and commercial sectors.5
