Dear customers, partners and friends of EEX,
The figures speak for themselves: 93% of the TTF spot market is currently traded at EEX, and our market shares in the French PEG spot (98%) and the German THE spot markets (95%) are even higher. By October this year, we had already exceeded the total traded volume of 2024, putting us on a path to a strong close of the year, both for the gas spot and derivatives markets. Those figures are the result of our continuous efforts to further develop our markets, and the close cooperation with all of you has played a crucial role in it. We are especially delighted that our Working Committees have once again proven to be a successful platform to discuss ideas firsthand.
Over the past two months, we have implemented further improvements that allow for enhanced trading opportunities and increased price attractiveness. We have introduced a series of new spread products, including spark spreads and Physical/Financial gas spreads, which are already used actively by our trading community. Meanwhile, the recent reduction of the tick size in our spot markets as well as the extension of the trade registration window in our derivatives segment have already led to increased liquidity on these markets.
The next step is already underway: With a view on the increasing trading activity in selected products, such as PVB and PEG, EEX has increased the transaction size limit on all gas derivatives to 200,000 lots as of 1 December.
Let me express my heartfelt thank you to all of you for your support. In a rapidly changing environment like ours, it is particularly valuable to stay close and to adapt our offering to address your needs. We remain committed to providing the best services and delivering solutions for secure, successful and sustainable markets.
Have a wonderful Christmas season and a good start into 2026.
Best regards
Steffen Köhler, CCO of EEX
