    On Wednesday, 4th March 2020, the European Energy Exchange (EEX) achieved a record day in its Dairy segment with a total of 5,475 tonnes of goods equivalent being traded in EEX dairy futures (1,095 contracts). This is the first time the 1,000-contracts-a-day level has ever been exceeded in Europe since the launch of on-exchange dairy price risk management instruments back in 2010. New record daily highs on the futures markets for butter and skimmed milk powder futures contributed to this performance.

Its offering comprises financially settled derivatives contracts on dairy products (butter, liquid milk, skimmed milk powder and whey powder) and European processing potatoes. These products are available for order book trading and trade registration.
