NYBOT Statement On NYMEX Soft Commodities

(21.12.06) - The New York Board of Trade® (NYBOT®), the world’s leading soft commodity exchange, issued today a statement regarding the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) listing of cash-settled clones of the NYBOT flagship soft commodity contracts on the NYMEX ClearPort trading and clearing system:

“We believe the NYMEX action is a transparent attempt to interfere with the merger of NYBOT and IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) that was overwhelmingly approved by the NYBOT membership last week,” said C. Harry Falk, NYBOT President and CEO. “In our view, this has little to do with market demand for these contracts, but is an obvious attempt to prevent a change in control under NYBOT’s valid lease. The lease contains provisions to prevent products that compete with NYMEX from being listed on the NYBOT trading floor,” he continued. “Moreover, while it may be tempting for the dominant electronic trading platform to employ pricing power to stifle competition, we do not believe it will succeed. We are confident that NYBOT’s strong reputation for customer relationships, market depth, high-quality floor broker community, and license of the ICE trading platform can withstand competition in soft commodities from competitors with no prior experience,” said Mr. Falk.

Beginning with cotton in 1870, the New York Board of Trade has supplied the cocoa, coffee, cotton, citrus and sugar industries with the highest quality price discovery through its exclusive Coffee “C”®, Cotton No. 2sm, Sugar No. 11sm and Sugar No.14sm futures and options contracts. Its cocoa and FCOJ contracts have served as world pricing benchmarks to the cocoa and citrus industries since 1925 and 1966 respectively. In addition, it has developed and provided unparalleled direct services and unique support to each physical industry through such innovations as its web-based electronic documentation and delivery system (eCOPS®) along with its many certification and grading programs.

The New York Board of Trade (NYBOT) is New York’s original futures exchange, where the world trades food, fiber and financial products. For well over a century, the New York Board of Trade has provided reliability, integrity and security in a global marketplace for cocoa, coffee, cotton, ethanol, orange juice, wood pulp and sugar, as well as currency and index futures and options. Information about the New York Board of Trade can be found at http://www.nybot.com and http://www.nybotlive.com.

NYMEX <---- Hast dich im Thread verlaufen !

ICE/NYBOT braucht einen eigenen Thread !

P.S. NYBOT wurde übernommen durch ICE per 12.01.2007

Die NYBOT hat ja erst durch den Launch der Softs im elektronischen Handel durch die NYMEX das Projekt elektronischen Handel forciert.

Meinem Verständnis nach ging es hier eher um den elektronischen Handel von Soft Futures. Falls dich das aber so stört, dann entschuldige ich mich tausendmal.

Oder umgekehrt: NYBOT hatte nämlich schon Anfang 2006 den E-Handel über E-CBOT geplant.

Es geht darum, dass Nymex und NYBOT viele Jahre am gleichen Parkett gehandelt haben und technische Funktionen gemeinsam genutzt haben. Die Softfutures des NYBOT wurden bisher nicht elektronisch gehandelt.

Jetzt beginnen beide Börsen gleichzeitig den elektronischen Handel und mir ist schon jetzt klar, dass die Nymex keinerlei Chance hat, einen signifikaten Anteil des Handels an sich zu ziehen. Dort werden eben Metalle und Edelmetall sowie Öl- und Enegiefutures gehandelt, aber kein Kaffee oder Orangensaft.

Mir ging es beim Theme nicht um die Zuordnung von Meldungen zu Börsen, sondern um den tobenden Wettkamp der US-Terminbörsen, sofern sie sich gerade nicht mal gegenseitig aufkaufen.

NYBOT Softs Exceed 12,000 Contracts On First Day Of Trading On The ICE Platform

(02.02.07) - IntercontinentalExchange (NYSE: ICE), the leading electronic energy marketplace and soft commodities exchange, and its regulated subsidiary, the New York Board of Trade (NYBOT), announced the successful launch of side-by-side trading for the NYBOT’s physical soft commodity contracts, with more than 12,000 contracts changing hands electronically by the close of trading today. Beginning today, the NYBOT commodity contracts became available for electronic trading for the first time. Commodities offered included cocoa, coffee, cotton, orange juice and sugar, with traders accessing the ICE electronic trading platform through WebICE, the front-end provided by ICE, and through leading independent software vendors.

“With over 12,000 contracts traded electronically by more than 100 firms and hundreds of users, today’s launch of side-by-side trading is reaffirmation of NYBOT’s position as the leading global soft commodities exchange,” said NYBOT Chairman Fred Schoenhut. “We are pleased to offer our customers a choice in how they access our robust markets and appreciate the strong support of the community.”

“The strong introduction of screen trading for NYBOT’s benchmark contracts was gratifying given the dedicated efforts of our employees and the diligent preparations made by the floor community, clearers, customers, ISVs and quote vendors,” said Chuck Vice, ICE President and COO. “We completed months of work in a short timeframe and will be working to expand the product offering, add customers and screens, and further develop functionality.”

In November, NYBOT selected the ICE platform, a leading electronic commodity trading platform based on speed, functionality and global distribution. In the coming weeks, NYBOT’s currency and index products will be added to the platform. Electronic markets operate from 7:00 a.m. ET through 3:15 p.m. ET, with NYBOT’s floor hours remaining unchanged.

ICE closed on its transaction to acquire the NYBOT on January 12, 2007.

Schön und gut. Aber warum dann nicht NYMEX und NYBOT im Titel oder nur "Softs" (ohne Börse) ?

@ Schlumpf007 [#12]

Weil die interessante Nachricht darin liegt, dass sich die Nymex an Produkte wagt, ohne den historischen Hintergrund zu haben.

Ansonsten liegt der Kontraktbestand der Nymex bei rund 50 Kakao Futures und weniger als 20 der anderen Märkte, alle im März Termin. Das Thema hat sich vermutlich in den nächsten 6 Wochen erledigt.
