EEX530 Index
The EEX530 reflects the mid-price of the highest bid and lowest ask available at a 17.30 CE(S)T. The index is based on the data in the order book of the respective contract at EEX – the most liquid platform for European gas spot trading. Thus, the EEX530 refers to market-based and reliable information right from the source.
The index provides a transparent and timely reference price for short-term gas delivery periods and complements the existing EEX End of Day Index (EOD) and EEX European Gas Spot Index (EGSI).
Index Details and Calculation
The EEX530 is available for all day and weekend contracts across all market areas tradable on the EEX spot market. It is calculated on the last exchange trading day before start of the respective delivery period of the contract according to the UK natural gas trading calendar.
EEX530i,j = (BBi,j+BAi,j)/2
BB: Best Bid | BA: Best Ask | i: underlying gas spot contract, namely Day or Weekend | j: relevant market area
Historic data for the EEX530 is available for professional use via EEX Group Datasource. Until December 2026, the data will be provided free of charge.
