NYMEX provides trading in futures and options contracts covering crude oil, natural gas, refined petroleum products, electricity, emissions, freight, petrochemicals, and certain metals. The exchange is internationally recognized for benchmark energy contracts such as '''West Texas Intermediate''' (WTI) crude oil futures and '''Henry Hub''' natural gas futures, which serve as global reference prices for energy markets. Trading is conducted primarily through the '''CME Globex''' electronic trading platform, while all eligible transactions are cleared through '''CME Clearing''', which acts as a central counterparty by guaranteeing settlement and managing counterparty risk.
