Which exchange operates the electronic global futures and OTC marketplace for trading energy commodity contracts, with its ICE Futures subsidiary?

• A. LME
• B. Eurex
• C. ICE Futures Europe
• D. Intercontinental Exchange (ICE)

Answer: (D)

Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) runs a global, electronic market for energy futures and over-the-counter energy contracts, with its ICE Futures subsidiary providing the futures trading platform and clearing. This makes ICE the correct choice because its ecosystem covers the worldwide energy derivatives market, combining futures and OTC activity in one electronic venue. The other options don’t fit: the London Metal Exchange focuses on metals, Eurex is a European derivatives exchange not specialized in energy, and ICE Futures Europe is a regional futures venue, not the overarching exchange operator.
