On April 21, 2026, trading will start on the Moscow Exchange’s derivatives market with settlement futures contracts for petroleum products – AI-92 gasoline, AI-95, as well as summer diesel fuel. The new instruments are aimed at a wide circle of market participants and their clients, including large consumers of petroleum products from various sectors of the Russian economy.
Futures on gasoline and diesel allow participation in the price movement of the most demanded products of the Russian fuel and energy complex. The contracts are of a settlement nature, which does not imply fuel delivery and opens access to this market segment not only to legal entities but also to individuals.

“The Moscow Exchange derivatives market offers unique opportunities for diversifying investments and participating in the price movement of a wide range of assets. The share of commodity contracts in the overall structure of derivatives trading today reaches 50% and continues to increase, with futures on energy carriers (oil and gas) being especially popular. The launch of futures on Russian gasoline and diesel expands access possibilities for private and institutional investors to one of the key product groups of the domestic fuel and energy complex.”In turn, consumers of gasoline and diesel from various economic sectors will be able to hedge risks and minimize the impact of price fluctuations on their business.
