The New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc., founded in 1871, is the world's largest physical commodity futures exchange and the preeminent trading forum for energy and precious metals. Futures and options contracts traded by Exchange include: crude oil, gasoline, heating oil, natural gas, electricity, gold, silver, copper, aluminum, and platinum; futures contracts for coal, propane, and palladium; and options contracts on the price differentials between crude oil and gasoline, crude oil and heating oil, and various futures contract months (calendar spreads) for light, sweet crude; Brent crude oil; gasoline; heating oil; and natural gas. Transactions executed on the Exchange avoid the risk of counterparty default because the Exchange clearinghouse acts as the counterparty to every trade. Trading is conducted through two divisions, the NYMEX Division, home to the energy, platinum, and palladium markets; and the COMEX Division, on which all other metals trade. The Exchange pioneered the development of energy futures and options contracts 26 years ago as means of bringing price transparency and risk management to this vital market. On August 22, 2008, NYMEX Holdings Inc. merged into CMEG NY Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CME Group.
