    Why are indices important?

    Indices play a crucial role in providing transparency for markets and strengthening confidence in the trading process. Building on our long-standing experience in commodity markets, EEX provides a series of benchmarks and indices for these markets, in order to ensure price transparency and facilitate risk management.

    With our indices, we provide reliable and traceable price references. By publishing traded prices and volumes, EEX safeguards transparency and provides a reliable reference signal to the market. A market-based reference price forms an essential operational basis for the market players – including investment decisions.

    “The EEX indices are established within the industry benchmarks for trading. With these, we offer clear price references - an essential pre-requisite for liquid markets.”
