energy markets
Fuel commodity trading
Energy markets are systems where electricity, natural gas, oil, and other fuel sources are bought and sold.
These include wholesale markets where utilities purchase power, retail markets where consumers choose suppliers, and commodity exchanges where futures contracts trade: Natural gas prices spiked in energy markets this winter.
Deregulation has made energy markets increasingly complex, with prices responding to weather, geopolitics, and infrastructure constraints.
