The New York Board of Trade (NYBOT) is one of the world’s oldest and most significant derivatives commodity trading centers. Established in 1870, NYBOT began as the New York Cotton Exchange, catering to price risk management in the U.S. agricultural sector.

With the goal of stabilizing commodity markets, NYBOT has continuously expanded its trading products, including coffee, sugar, cocoa, and cotton. Currently, NYBOT is part of the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), playing a critical role in the global trading ecosystem.

Overview of NYBOT

History and Mission

NYBOT was founded to provide a professional commodity trading platform, helping businesses and investors manage price risks. By 1998, NYBOT merged with the Coffee, Sugar, and Cocoa Exchange (CSCE), broadening its trading portfolio.

After the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001, NYBOT relocated to the World Financial Center. Notably, in 2006, NYBOT joined ICE, integrating into a modern electronic trading network. This marked a milestone in enhancing market accessibility and liquidity.
