London, United Kingdom and Singapore, Singapore - Newsfile Corp. - February 8, 2026 - Abaxx Commodity Exchange and Clearinghouse (Abaxx Exchange), together with TMX Trayport, a wholly owned subsidiary of TMX Group, today announced that Abaxx Exchange will extend trading access through TMX Trayport's Joule trading platform, with connectivity expected before the end of the first quarter of 2026.

Through this integration, traders will be able to view Abaxx Exchange markets alongside energy and commodities and submit orders directly from within their existing trading environment.

TMX Trayport's Joule platform is used by more than 9,800 traders globally across energy, commodities, and environmental markets. The connectivity allows trading firms to position Abaxx Exchange benchmarks with existing gas, power, and environmental contracts and deploy their hedging and trading strategies across interconnected markets.

Abaxx Exchange's suite of physically-deliverable LNG futures will expand the set of trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific gas prices available on Trayport's Joule platform, enabling cross-basin hedging within a single trading screen. In addition, Abaxx Exchange's weather-indexed derivatives provide new tools for managing European power price and generation risk, while its environmental contracts, including CORSIA-eligible and REDD+ units, add additional instruments for managing climate-related exposures.

"Trayport continues to broaden the range of commodities available to its global trading community," said Peter Conroy, CEO Global Insights (Trayport, Datalinx, VettaFi) at TMX Group. "Recognising the critical role brokers and exchanges play in building liquidity, we welcome the ability for traders to view both OTC-cleared markets and Abaxx Exchange order books within Joule."

"Connecting Abaxx Exchange to TMX Trayport's Joule platform extends our access to a global network of core power and gas market participants," said Shanmei Lim, Chief Markets Officer at Abaxx Exchange. "It places Abaxx benchmarks directly into the workflows traders already used to manage risk across markets."

Abaxx Exchange and TMX Trayport will be at E-world energy & water in Essen from February 10-12 to discuss the forthcoming Joule integration with market participants.
TMX Trayport will exhibit in Hall 2, stand B128, and Abaxx in Hall 2, stand 2D101.
