EEX Butter spot / futures market prices & news
EEX Butter (Frankfurt, DE) represents a key trading venue for the agricultural commodity butter within the European commodity futures market. As part of the European Energy Exchange (EEX), Frankfurt offers a transparent and standardized environment for trading butter futures, which are exclusively financially settled. Pricing is based on the EEX Monthly European Butter Index, derived from weekly price assessments in Germany, France, and the Netherlands.
The platform provides comprehensive data on current butter prices, EEX butter quotations, historical closing prices, and market developments. It is complemented by market assessments, news tickers, press reviews, and concise market trends and reports that analyse price movements and trading volumes. These insights are valuable for stakeholders in agricultural trading, dairy products, commodity prices, and commodity trading.
Butter is a core component of the European dairy market, influenced by seasonal patterns, geopolitical factors, and currency fluctuations. The EEX butter prices reflect this volatility and serve as a benchmark for hedging strategies in agricultural futures trading. Contracts are standardized at 5 metric tons and traded daily from 08:45 to 18:00 CET. The last trading day is the final Wednesday of the contract month.
