news from the global flash
weather deal
enron has traded a weather derivative deal with the rock garden restaurant in
london ' s covent garden . based on a ' cold day ' index , the deal protects the
rock garden from a summer that has too many days below a certain temperature
between march and june . once a number of days has been reached , the rock
garden will receive a payout for each further day below that reference
temperature . the payouts have been weighted to reflect the greater earning
potential in some months compared to others . in a blind auction , enron beat
six other risk takers to price the deal .
