Natural Gas Auction
On this website, you will find information on the EEX spot market auction for natural gas starting on 15 July 2009.
The introduction of a natural gas auction with a minimum contract size of 1 MW on the spot market meets the demands of many trading participants for exchange trading of small physical natural gas contracts. The terms, such as the time and design of the intraday auction, were established in close co-operation with the trading participants. As of 15 July 2009 EEX will run an auction on each exchange trading day between 2.30 and 2.35 pm on Xetra. Within that time window, the continuous trading will be interrupted for the call phase and the determination of the auction price. The following products can be traded: Day-Ahead, 2-Day-Ahead and Weekend contracts.Advantages for trading participants:
- Improved structuring of purchase and sales portfolio
- Optimised usage of storage capacities on the market
- Avoiding transport penalties through imbalances
