Continued growth and trading activity was seen in the Abaxx Exchange’s Gulf of Mexico and North Pacific/Asia LNG futures contracts.
Trading volume in Asian futures reached 690 lots in the week ending 17th October, 2025, while the Gulf of Mexico futures increased to 2,394 lots, according to Abaxx Technologies, the majority shareholder of Abaxx Singapore and the owner of Abaxx Commodity Exchange and Clearinghouse.
Total LNG volume rose more than 80% from August to September, with trading activity continuing to build in October.
Since its launch, total trading volume across Gulf of Mexico futures and Asian futures’ contracts has reached 14,042 lots, representing about 140,420,000 MMBtu or $1.6 bill of notional value — equivalent to around 40 LNG cargoes.
Abaxx’s suite of physically deliverable LNG futures, including the Gulf of Mexico, Asian and Northwest Europe (NWE) contracts, now provides regional price signals for terminals representing more than 80% of global LNG import capacity, giving market participants reliable forward curves aligned with real physical trade flows, the company claimed.
