NYMEX ClearPort® Clearing

Market participants can negotiate their own transactions off of the Exchange from a comprehensive slate of energy contracts and post an exchange of futures for swaps (EFS) or exchange of futures for physicals (EFP) transaction directly to the NYMEX ClearPort clearing system. When the transactions are submitted, margin requirements are calculated and the transactions are processed by the clearinghouse in the same manner as NYMEX’s core futures contracts.

NYMEX ClearPort clearing is available from 6:00 PM Sunday through 5:15 PM Friday, with a 45-minute break between 5:15 PM and 6:00 PM on Mondays through Thursdays.

Submitting bilateral trades to the Exchange clearing system offers several advantages over non-cleared business:

•    A system of guarantees mitigates counterparty credit risk.
•    Trades are processed by a neutral third party.
•    More complete risk management is provided.

Trades can be booked for longer terms and lesser risk of counterparty default or bankruptcy.
