| NYMEX miNY™ Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures |
|
| Natural gas futures have been the Exchange's fastest growing market since their launch in 1990. The standard-sized contract is the second most actively traded futures contract on the Exchange and the second-highest volume futures contract in the world based on a physical commodity. The natural gas futures contract is based on delivery at the Henry Hub in Louisiana, the nexus of 16 intra- and interstate natural gas pipelines serving markets throughout the continental United States and into Canada. Natural gas accounts for approximately one-quarter of U.S. energy usage. Volume in the standard-sized contract is equal to approximately eight times physical U.S. natural gas production. |
