Risk Management Exchange

Risk Management Exchange

The Risk Management Exchange (RMX) was a futures exchange based in Hannover, Germany which filed for insolvency in February 2009.[1]

It was founded as the Warenterminbörse Hannover (Commodity Exchange Hannover, WTB) in 1998 by the German Farmers' Union and a group of financiers. It was Germany's first fully electronic commodity exchange.[2]

In December 2005 WTB and Dekrebo Kredit Börse merged and the new group was renamed RMX.[3]

As of January 2007, current agricultural commodities traded are[4]

  • Hogs
  • Piglets
  • Potatoes (three kinds; 'Table', 'European Processing' and 'London')
  • Wheat

The contract on brewing barley is suspended as of 30th of April 2008. Recyclable paper contracts are currently suspended (as of 2005). Rapeseed was traded in the past.
