EmiNY energy switch to Clearport

Does anyone know the average volume for QM? Is it better than IPE? Thanks.

 

www.nymex.com has QM data. I believe average volume is around 15,000.

www.theipe.com has data for COIL. Daily volume is over 100,000

 

To be more specific on volume.

On july 5th IPE august brent traded 54k contracts, september 43k.

On july 1st mini Crude traded 14k.

 

does anyone know how much of the daily volume for Brent Crude at the IPE is during US hours vs London hrs? ie. is it 80-20 London or 60-40 US or what.
thanks!

 

It depends, but eyeballing it, I'd say the US vs. London split is about 70-30, which most of the US action between 9AM-2PM EST.

The September NYMEX miNYsm crude oil and natural gas futures contracts will be listed for trading on the CME Globex platform beginning today at 3:15 PM EST. The September NYMEX miNYsm crude oil futures contract will expire on the CME Globex platform at 2:30 PM EST on August 19.

The October NYMEX miNYsm crude oil and natural gas futures contracts will also be listed for trading on NYMEX ClearPort® at 7:00 PM EST on August 21 for the trade date August 22.

Exchange President James E. Newsome said, "We have been very gratified by the unprecedented growth in volumes we have seen in the e–miNY futures contracts in recent months. We are delaying the migration of these products onto NYMEX ClearPort® to ensure that all of our customers have sufficient time to establish connectivity and to review and execute the applicable user documentation."

 

The proposed migration of NYMEX emini crude oil and natural gas contracts from CME Globex to ClearPort will remain on Globex indefinitely.

 

The NYMEX is the worst exchnage in the world. I find it surprising that the Eurex or CME are unwiling to list the Cl/NG/QM/QG contracts - and list them on a cash-settled basis like QM/QG.
