On January 6, CME Group announced four new Japanese electricity futures contracts and two new LNG futures contracts will be available for trading on February 8, 2021, pending regulatory review by US CFTC.
The four new electricity futures contracts expand CME Group's suite of global power futures and options, and provide traders a robust platform for block-trade submission to CME Clearing. The two new LNG contracts provide Japanese power producers an efficient tool to manage their price risk.
"The Japanese wholesale electricity market is now fully liberalized with hundreds of retail firms and producers, creating an opportunity for a more robust derivatives market alongside it. We are pleased to launch these new futures contracts that offer participants an efficient risk management tool" said Izumi Kazuhara, CME Group Head of Japan. "At the same time, the launch of the two new yen-denominated LNG contracts will be relevant for market participants who want to trade the spread between LNG and electricity futures."
The new electricity contracts include: Japanese power (Day-Ahead) Tokyo base-load futures, Japanese power (Day-Ahead) Tokyo peak-load futures, Japanese power (Day-Ahead) Kansai base-load futures, and Japanese power (Day-Ahead) Kansai peak-load futures. They are financially-settled in Japanese yen using the arithmetic average of the 30-minute Spot Market (Day-Ahead) prices published by the Japan Wholesale Power Exchange (JEPX) for the relevant region (Tokyo or Kansai) based on base/peak loads over the period defined by the contract.
The new LNG contracts will be denominated in Japanese yen and include the Japan/Korea Market (Platts) futures and the Japan Crude Cocktail (Detailed) futures. The former is a financially-settled contract based on the DES Japan/Korea daily LNG marker (JKM) by Platts, while the latter is a financially settled contract based on the average price of nine custom-cleared crude oils as reported by the Japan Customs and Tariff Bureau of the Ministry of Finance.
