ICE Futures Canada will be the new moniker for the Winnipeg Commodity Exchange starting tomorrow.
Atlanta-based IntercontinentalExchange (ICE), which bought the WCE in August and transitioned its all-electronic trading platform to the ICE platform on Dec. 10, announced Monday that its new subsidiary will have a new name in line with its other futures subsidiaries.
Starting Sept. 3, the New York Board of Trade, which merged into ICE in January, was renamed ICE Futures U.S., at the same time as ICE’s London-based futures exchange was renamed ICE Futures Europe. The New York arm handles futures and options in commodities such as sugar, cocoa and coffee, while the London arm handles energy futures and options.
“Following the successful integration into the ICE family, WCE will take on the ICE brand in 2008, enabling us to fully leverage the resources of our company as well as bring together the diverse range of products ICE offers on a global platform,” ICE CEO Jeffrey Sprecher said in a release Monday.
