WTI (West Texas Intermediary) is one of the premier oil benchmarks in the world. The use of WTI as a pricing mechanism extends far beyond its local and refined export markets. With production accounting for over 10% of global demand, and pricing accounting for over 25% of global supply, the DGCX mini WTI futures contract provides accessibility to the global energy market to a wider range of participants.
Paired with the DGCX’s existing USD currency suite, the Mini WTI futures contract will draw a stronger appeal to existing contracts on other global exchanges which are of a larger size. The DGCX Mini WTI contract size will help facilitate price discovery by new market participants, offering protection and hedging opportunities to all.
