Alternatively, the agreement could be amended to eliminate SP Holdings right to some of the substantial fees that it was supposed to receive under the agreement. Traders seem to think that the second option is more likely, which could explain the latest rally.
Investors must have figured out that Sanchez Midstream will emerge the winner in the ongoing negotiations given that the rally started soon after details of the negotiations were released.
