Coal — Futures, Options and OTC Clearing
In 2001 NYMEX, now a part of CME Group, began trading North American coal with the launch of Central Appalachian Coal futures. Since then, CME Group has taken coal risk management global, offering a comprehensive product slate of both thermal and coking coal covering the US, Atlantic and Pacific regions.
Using straight-through processing technology for CME ClearPort transactions, CME Group continues to work with the coal market to provide complete solutions for producers, consumers and traders worldwide.
