APX-Endex to launch wood pellet trading
APX-Endex will launch wood pellet trading in mid-2011.
The exchange has published a price index for industrial wood pellets since 2008. The index has evolved over the past two years and the number of pricing panel members has expanded. APX-Endex will provide the trading platform as well as clearing and settlement. The Port of Rotterdam will set up the infrastructure for physical delivery of the pellets.
