Mr. Steve Fray reports ABAXX CONFIRMS GROWING TRADING ACTIVITY IN ITS NORTH PACIFIC-ASIA (NPA DAP) AND US GULF OF MEXICO (GOM FOB) LNG FUTURES Abaxx Technologies Inc. has continued growth and trading activity in Gulf of Mexico (GOM FOB) and North Pacific Asia (NPA DAP) liquefied natural gas futures contracts on Abaxx Exchange. Trading volume in NPA DAP futures reached 690 lots in the week ended Oct. 17, 2025, while GOM FOB futures increased to 2,394 lots. Total LNG volume rose more than 80 per cent from August to September, with trading activity continuing to build in October. Since launch, total trading volume across GOM FOB futures and NPA DAP LNG futures contracts has reached 14,042 lots, representing approximately 140.42 million British thermal units or $1.6-billion (U.S.) of notional value -- equivalent to around 40 LNG cargoes. The Abaxx suite of physically deliverable LNG futures, including the GOM FOB, NPA DAP and Northwest Europe DAP contracts, provides regional price signals for terminals representing more than 80 per cent of global LNG import capacity, giving market participants reliable forward curves aligned with real physical trade flows. "Abaxx's LNG contracts are giving commercial participants a more effective way to manage regional price exposure," said Joe Raia, chief commercial officer, Abaxx Exchange. "By providing forward liquidity across both Atlantic and Pacific basins, these physically deliverable futures are helping LNG traders hedge delivered cargo risk and improve price discovery across their LNG supply chain." Abaxx's three LNG benchmarks, introduced in June, 2024, were designed to close structural gaps in market design and support participants managing delivered cargo exposure and regional pricing risk. All contracts are U.S. dollar denominated, 10,000 MMBtu futures, with the GOM futures contract listed on an FOB basis and the NPA and NWE contracts listed on a DAP basis across their respective delivery regions.
