Ken Worthington's questions to CME GROUP (CME) leadership • Q3 2025
Question
Ken Worthington asked about the outlook for energy growth following a recent decline, particularly in the context of strong earlier volumes, and factors driving share shifts in oil and gas markets.
Answer
Derek Sammann, Senior Managing Director, noted WTI trading in a narrow range and successful growth in options and crude scrape contracts. He highlighted double-digit growth in Europe and Asia for crude oil and a shift of WTI futures share back to CME. He also emphasized strong growth in natural gas, driven by increasing U.S. LNG exports.
