Abaxx to expand LNG futures suite

Abaxx Technologies, a financial software and market infrastructure company and majority shareholder of Abaxx Singapore, the owner of Abaxx Commodity Exchange and Clearinghouse, announced that Abaxx Exchange will expand its liquefied natural gas (LNG) futures suite with three financially-settled contracts launching November 16, 2026.

The launch will include North Pacific Asia contracts denominated in U.S. dollars (USD) and offshore Chinese renminbi (CNH), and a USD-denominated Gulf of Mexico mini contract.

The new contracts will allow participants to trade and hedge against the same waterborne LNG prices established by Abaxx’s physically-deliverable North Pacific Asia and Gulf of Mexico futures, with the flexibility of financial settlement. These physical contracts provide the only physically-backed forward curves for LNG trading globally.

With its first CNH-denominated futures contract, Abaxx Exchange is helping to build the bridge between China’s domestic markets and international LNG markets. NPC futures will give participants a choice of US dollar- or offshore Chinese renminbi-denominated contracts tied to Abaxx’s North Pacific Asia LNG benchmark, supporting firms managing LNG exposure alongside renminbi revenues, costs or investment capital.
