📄 Abstract（原文）
Mike Taylor describes trading California carbon allowances during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, detailing how the market dynamic changed abruptly when demand dropped and risk aversion increased. The California Air Resources Board sets a rising floor price for allowances sold at quarterly auctions, and historically, market prices had rarely fallen below this threshold. In March 2020, market conditions forced allowance prices below the floor, as leveraged traders liquidated positions following steep increases in margin requirements. Taylor recounts persuading some clients to secure forward contracts for December 2021 delivery, taking advantage of prices significantly below the expected auction floor. He reasoned that the state would maintain its climate targets, and that prices would recover as oversold conditions resolved. This view was validated when prices rebounded, resulting in substantial savings for his clients. Taylor emphasizes that success in emissions trading requires a thorough understanding of both market rules and regulatory intent, as policy decisions can dramatically shift price behaviour.
