Expert Statements
Gordon Bennett, Managing Director, Utility Markets at ICE
“Natural gas has become a truly global market, where a shift in supply or demand in one region is felt around the world.”
Gordon Bennett, Managing Director, Utility Markets at ICE
“Middle East LNG exports, European storage levels and cargo flows between Europe and Asia are shaping global supply, and with many gas markets trading as a spread to TTF, participants use the benchmark to price those changes.”

“ICE offers the broadest range of contracts across the TTF curve, so customers can hedge from the next hour to the next decade on one centrally cleared platform.”
