EGSI Futures
EEX Financial Gas Futures launched in June 2021
Trading EGSI Futures
EEX Financial Gas Futures settled against the European Gas Spot Index (EGSI)
Since 28th June, The European Energy Exchange (EEX) has expanded its product range on the Derivatives Market with new Financial Gas Futures. These new contracts are listed on the Dutch (TTF), Austrian (CEGH) and German (THE) market areas and cash-settled against the European Gas Spot Index (EGSI), the most robust and transparent pricing reference in the European gas market.
EGSI Futures will cover the whole curve from short term (Day Futures, Weekend and Week contracts) to longer term maturities (Month, Quarter, Season and Calendar Year). The launch will enable easier access to the European Natural Gas markets for companies that do not require physical delivery, whilst allowing all participants to trade on the EGSI benchmark price for hedging purposes.
In line with other EEX products, the new Financial Gas Futures will be tradable on all EEX Exchange trading days during the regular trading hours from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm CET.
By listing these cash-settled EGSI Futures, EEX will also enable its members to trade the price difference between the new Financial Gas Futures and existing highly liquid Financial Power Futures in dedicated Spark Spreads orderbooks with execution guarantees.
About the European Gas Spot Index (EGSI)
EGSI - the N°1 benchmark for Natural Gas in Europe
The European Gas Spot Index (EGSI) is determined on actual trades executed on all EEX Natural Gas markets in Europe. More specifically, the EGSI is calculated as a volume weighted average price based on all transactions of the day (8.00 am to 6.00 pm CET). Due to the large liquidity of EEX markets, combined with the robust methodology used, EGSI has become the most transparent and trustworthy natural gas Index in Europe.
