迪拜商品交易所原油貿易突破100億桶

DUBAI — The Dubai Mercantile Exchange (DME) has crossed the 10 million contracts mark, with 10 billion barrels of Omani crude oil traded on the Exchange since its inception.?

The milestone comes after DME registered an 11% increase in trading volumes to date this year, while setting a new record for physical delivery. DME delivered 27,342,000 bbl in March 2016, maintaining DME Oman’s position as the energy futures contract with the largest physical delivery in the world.

“Today’s landmark highlights the important role DME plays in the oil markets of the Middle East and Asia, enabling transparency and fair crude oil prices for both producers and users. We have won customers’ trust around the globe and particularly in Asia by offering the most reliable regional oil price benchmark and a fully regulated trading environment,” said DME Chairman Ahmad Sharaf.

“Crude oil markets are increasingly volatile, which highlights the need for regulated risk?management?solutions, such as the DME Oman Crude Oil Futures contract,” he added.
