Platts-ICE Gas Indices Americas (GIA)

S&P Global Platts and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), have launched a new suite of natural gas indices to better capture dramatically altered supply and demand flows, regional price differentials and increased spot market volatility in the US and Canada. The new suite of physical indices delivers what the market is asking for: increased market transparency, new sets of derivatives that illustrate regional price differentials and spot market volatility.

With Platts ICE Gas Indices Americas (GIA) , you will more accurately capture spot market volatility in the US compared to any other futures contract.

The Platts-ICE GIA North America index reflects 20 locations across four regions of North America. The indices will be published daily after the close of trading and will be based on Platts Natural Gas indices, reflecting next-day physical fixed-price trades reported to Platts by Price Reporters and gas trades concluded on the ICE screen. The suite includes:

The indices are designed to capture comprehensive market fundamentals of each region and thereby be more responsive to supply, demand, weather, infrastructure and other changes that can cause market and price volatility. They complement the long-established Henry Hub benchmark, a key natural gas distribution hub in Louisiana that has long been considered a go-to proxy price for the nation.
