Intercontinental Exchange Announces Launch Of 44 New Contracts; Including Energy And Euro Cocoa Futures And Options

Date 13/03/2015

Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE), the leading global network of exchanges and clearing houses, today announced the introduction of 44 new contracts, including Euro Cocoa and energy futures and options contracts, on March 30, 2015, subject to the satisfactory completion of applicable regulatory processes.

Following extensive market consultation, ICE will introduce the new Euro Cocoa contracts, which will operate in parallel with the existing pound-sterling London Cocoa contract. Excluding currency, the new Euro Cocoa contracts specification will mirror the London cocoa contract including physical settlement and will trade and clear at ICE Futures Europe and ICE Clear Europe. Customers will therefore be able to benefit from cross margin offsets with the London Cocoa contract.

The new energy futures and options contracts, which will be available for trading at either ICE Futures Europe or ICE Futures U.S. and cleared at ICE Clear Europe, include cash settled oil, wet freight, U.S. natural gas and financial power, as well as physical environmental contracts.
