About The FEX Group
The Financial and Energy Exchange group (FEX) is developing a suite of services for the Asian energy markets.
The Financial and Energy Exchange group (FEX) is developing a suite of services for the Asian energy markets. The benchmark FEX products will include traditional Asian energy products such as crude oil and thermal coal. The offering will also extend to emerging energy and environmental products to help service existing and new liquidity pools. Our services further consolidate the ongoing electronification and derivitisation of markets.
Bilateral and cleared OTC, futures and option contracts for the benchmark energy and environmental products are targeted to be developed in H2 2008.
The FEX futures market will utilize OMX technology, the premium matching engine technology supplier to world exchanges. OMX are implementing a FEX proprietary matching algorithm to the derivatives marketplace. The Clearing Corporation of Chicago, the world's largest independent clearing house, will deliver the proposed clearing function.
The FEX development effort for its derivative market structure is near completion and on schedule for the integration testing of the full market solution in H1 2008.
Our markets will support electronic access via various messaging alternatives including native APIs, FIX and XML, depending upon market demands.
The FEX OTC platform, called Mercari Direct, utilizes patented secure interactive technology. Mercari Direct is a proven robust fully integrated electronic system currently being used in the Australian OTC interest rate and foreign exchange swaps markets.
FEX, through Mercari, holds an Australian Market License (AML) for OTC derivatives markets in Australia and has applied to the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) for approval to hold a full AML for derivatives. FEX is working closely with the regulator to ensure the full licensing requirements are satisfied in a timely manner.
