July 2010 - Time to consider electronic trading for oil markets

The oil markets have stubbornly resisted electronic trading for 10 years. Alex Davis finds out if this is about to change. Of all of the over-the-counter energy markets in Europe, oil is the largest and the oldest. Methods for conducting OTC physical and derivatives deals are well established and attempts in the past to bring the voice-brokered activities on to electronic platforms have fallen flat. 

However, brokers and software providers believe that the financial crisis two years ago and the renewed appeal of clearing services are altering attitudes. Thus something of a battle is developing between companies trying to take advantage of the potentially very lucrative changing winds.

July 2010 - Technology and regulation change game plan for brokers

Technological developments have transformed the face of European energy broking beyond recognition. Now regulatory changes could potentially alter this landscape even further. Alex Davis and Katie Holliday speak to the major brokers about their vision for the future of energy broking in Europe. With the European Commission working on draft proposals to update its derivatives and energy markets legislation, the precise future for Europe’s energy brokers is unknown, but change is certain. The gradual growth of ‘electronic screen’ trading amongst most of the over-the-counter (OTC) energy asset classes over the past 10 years has already fundamentally altered the energy broking landscape and looks set to leave Europe’s energy brokers in a good position irrespective of new legislation.
