CME Group, the world’s leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace, today announced the launch of Distillers’ Dried Grain agricultural commodity futures contracts, scheduled to begin trading April 26. These contracts are listed with, and subject to, the rules and regulations of the CBOT.
Distillers’ Dried Grains, a byproduct of corn-produced ethanol, is used for animal feed, including livestock and dairy cows. The electronically traded and physically delivered futures contracts can be used by livestock and ethanol producers, commercial corn interests and others to lock in the price of feed or to hedge their ethanol refining margin in combination with corn, natural gas and ethanol futures.
“This product will enable our feed customers to directly manage price risk of feed inputs that they haven’t been able to before,” said Tim Andriesen, CME Group Managing Director for Commodities.
