1 Observing the Changing Relationship Between Natural Gas Prices and Power Prices The research views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of the CME Group or its affiliates. All examples in this presentation are hypothetical interpretations of situations and are used for explanation purposes only. This report and the information herein should not be considered investment advice or the results of actual market experience. Samantha Azzarello Economist, CME Group April 2013
2 Risk Disclosures Futures trading is not suitable for all investors, and involves the risk of loss. Futures are a leveraged investment, and because only a percentage of a contract s value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money deposited for a futures position. Therefore, traders should only use funds that they can afford to lose without affecting their lifestyles. And only a portion of those funds should be devoted to any one trade because they cannot expect to profit on every trade.

3 Objective and Scope of Analysis To better understand the changing relationship between Power and Natural Gas. Analyzing the seasonal effect and trend of natural gas price on power price. Completed analysis for multiple ISOs MISO, PJM, ISO NE and ERCOT. Used a Bayesian Statistical model to complete analysis CME Group. All rights reserved 3
4 Why use Bayesian Statistics with this Analysis? Simply, the relationship between power and natural gas has been changing. A major strength of this type of Bayesian statistical model is that it captures changing dynamics between variables CME Group. All rights reserved 4
5 MISO Analysis Dynamic Linear Model Regression Parameter representing the influence of Natural Gas price on Power price is unknown. Estimation Equation Power t = Constant + Natural Gas t + error t 2011 CME Group. All rights reserved 5
6 Dynamic Linear Model (DLM) Dynamic models allow time varying coefficient estimates. Sequential analysis allows for updating of coefficients as new information is observed. Compare: OLS Regression - One set of coefficient estimates for whole time period. DLM Relationship of variable X on Y can change and vary over time. DLM estimates capture this change CME Group.

7 Data Natural Gas ANR Gas Daily Prices (Platts). Power Cinergy Average LMP data (until Feb ). Indiana Hub (Mar ). Data from April 2005 to April Model uses Daily Price Percent Change series for both Power and Natural Gas CME Group. All rights reserved 7
8 Seasonal Trend Decomposition (STL) Breaks a time series into Trend and Seasonal components. Done by LOESS (Locally Weighted Regression). Smoothing algorithm which fits a locally weighted polynomial linear or quadratic. Decomposed the Total Effect of Natural Gas Price on Power Price (Coefficient β t ) into components. β t = Trend t + Seasonal t + Remainder t 2011 CME Group. All rights reserved 8

12 Results Seasonal Seasonal pattern shows strong summer peak and weaker winter peak. Trend Shows varying but overall increasing influence of Natural Gas price on Power price. Trend is disturbed due to financial crisis turmoil (many correlations fell to zero in that period). Remainder Appears to be white noise - implying seasonal and trend breakdown fit data. Any large spike in remainder implies influence of different factor than Gas price in greatly affecting Power price CME Group. All rights reserved 12

21 Comparison among ISOs Seasonal Seasonal pattern is distinct to each ISO: Trend ERCOT exhibits a strong seasonal peak for summer. MISO and ISO NE exhibits seasonal peaks for Winter AND Summer. PJM exhibits slight seasonal summer peak. ISO NE and PJM show an increasing influence of Natural Gas price on Power price starting in MISO and PJM shows the effect of the financial panic in 2008, causing correlations to move temporarily to zero ISO NE and ERCOT do not. Remainder ISO NE: Remainder is generally white noise, but with large spikes. PJM: Remainder is purely white noise CME Group. All rights reserved 21

23 Appendix Bayesian Statistics and Model Equations
24 Frequentist vs. Bayesian Statistics Key Difference: The way Uncertainty is treated Frequentist: Uncertainty about quantities or parameters estimated is captured by looking at how estimates would change in repeated sampling from the same population (or data set). Bayesian: Uncertainty is addressed by updating prior opinions about quantities and parameters estimated as NEW data is observed CME Group. All rights reserved 24
25 Bayesian Statistics Bayes Theorem 2011 CME Group. All rights reserved 25
26 Bayesian Analysis PRIOR x LIKELIHOOD POSTERIOR Prior Initial probability distribution of parameters Likelihood Joint probability of observing the data given the parameters estimated Posterior - Probability of parameters given the data The process of moving from Prior to Posterior is called Bayesian Learning 2011 CME Group. All rights reserved 26
27 Model General The DLM is a two equation system estimated as: Estimation Equation Y t =(F t ) β t + v t v t ~ N[0,V t ] Where F are the explanatory factors and β are the Beta parameter estimates State Equation β t =G t β t-1 + w t w t ~N[0,W t ] Governs the path of Beta Estimates changing over time 2011 CME Group. All rights reserved 27
28 Model MISO Analysis Estimation Equation 1. Power t = β0 t * Constant + β1 t * Natural_Gas t + e t β is a vector of the estimated Beta coefficients e t is the error term State Equation 2. β t =G t β t-1 + g t Estimated beta coefficients may change over time as allowed by the State Equation g t is the error term 2011 CME Group.

Part II Create Placeholders Create placeholder vectors and matrices for all the components of the function. The placeholders are filled in as the function runs and repeats the steps for each time period CME Group. All rights reserved 29
