洲際交易所將于明年一季度推出穆爾班原油期貨

據石油新聞2020年10月12日迪拜報道，全球領軍金融和商品期貨交易所和結算中心倫敦洲際交易所（ICE）10月12日表示，ICE計劃在2021年第一季度在阿布扎比的一家交易所推出穆爾班原油期貨交易。此前，由于新冠肺炎疫情大流行，ICE曾在今年上半年推遲了啟動該交易。

在完成監(jiān)管審批以后，ICE計劃在2021年第一季度推出IFAD (ICE期貨阿布扎比)和穆爾班原油期貨合同交易。ICE說，“更具體的啟動交易日期將在適當時候宣布。”

ICE和阿聯酋最大能源生產商阿布扎比國家石油公司(ADNOC)曾在2019年11月首次宣布了啟動一個衍生物衍交易平臺的計劃，與9家國際能源公司合作，在新的IFAD進行交易。

ADNOC和ICE將與英國石油公司、韓國GS Caltex、日本國際石油開發(fā)株式會社、日本JXTG、中石油、泰國國家石油公司、荷蘭皇家殼牌公司、法國道達爾和和瑞士維多集團合作，共同推出IFAD。股權分解情況尚未披露。

ICE plans to launch trading in Murban futures in Q1 2021

The Intercontinental Exchange said Oct. 12 it plans to launch Murban crude futures trading at an exchange in Abu Dhabi in the first quarter of 2021, after it delayed the startup in the first half of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Subject to the completion of regulatory approvals, ICE plans to launch IFAD (ICE Futures Abu Dhabi) and trading in Murban futures contracts late in the first quarter of 2021,” ICE said. "A more specific date for the launch of trading will be announced in due course.”

ICE and Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., the UAE's biggest energy producer, first announced plans to start a derivatives trading platform in November 2019, to be hosted on the new IFAD exchange, in partnership with nine international energy companies.

ADNOC and ICE are partnering with BP, GS Caltex, Inpex, JXTG, PetroChina, PTT, Shell, Total and Vitol to launch IFAD. The breakdown of shareholding has not been disclosed.
