Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE:ICE), a leading global

futures and options markets reached record open interest of 90.2
million contracts on February 15, 2024, with ICE’s commodities
futures and options markets hitting record open interest of 61.8
million contracts on February 16, 2024.
ICE’s energy futures and options portfolio hit record open
interest of 57 million contracts on February 16, 2024, with global

On the same day, ICE TTF natural gas futures and options
contracts hit record open interest of 3.9 million, up 92%
year-over-year, as TTF options contracts reached record open
interest of almost 2 million. ICE’s TTF contracts offer the most
liquid markets to manage exposure to global natural gas prices as
participants utilize the liquidity out to December 2032.
“Every day we are seeing our diverse customer base utilize the
depth and breadth of ICE’s global energy benchmarks and the
critical price signals they provide to manage changes in energy
flows around the world,” said Trabue Bland, SVP, Futures Markets,
ICE. “The open interest records in TTF underscore the significance
of our contracts to the price formation of global natural gas and
demonstrates how the market depends on ICE’s energy futures and
options to reflect global fundamentals.”
Meanwhile, in traded volumes, ICE’s total options contracts hit
record traded volume of 34.7 million in January 2024, beating the
previous monthly record set in August 2011, while ICE’s commodity
options traded a record 20.2 million contracts during the
month.
ICE offers customers the most liquid markets to trade energy
derivatives. ICE’s range of global natural gas benchmarks sit
alongside ICE Brent, used to price three quarters of the world’s
internationally traded crude oil, as well as the most liquid
markets to trade environmental products, which support market
participants in meeting emissions reduction goals.
