Europe’s current energy crisis, coming on the heels of global market volatility caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, has introduced additional complexities to valuation adjustments and counterparty credit risk modelling. Additionally, underdeveloped forward-curve modelling increases the challenges faced by quantitative and risk experts from banks and energy trading firms trying to capture counterparty credit risk, navigate a stressed market, and model and simulate energy markets.
On November 30, 2022, a panel of five industry experts engaged in a lively discussion on the following topics:
- Challenges in modelling counterparty credit risk sources and mitigants that are unique to the physical trading business
- Calibrating models to historical data, dealing with time-varying volatility in the absence of option-implied data
- Grappling with directional-way risk in stressed markets
- Portfolio-wide risk calculations and risk allocation, utilising tools from machine learning for performance and accuracy
- Adapting techniques, frameworks and methodologies from other asset classes to commodities, such as from rates and foreign exchange spaces.
