Winnipeg Commodity Exchange
Encyclopedia : W : WI : WIN : Winnipeg Commodity Exchange
The Winnipeg Commodity Exchange is a derivatives market based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Futures and options contracts are electronically traded in feed wheat, western barley and canola (rapeseed).
WCE began its existence as the Winnipeg Grain & Produce Exchange in 1887. In 1904, it introduced its first futures contracts. It was, and remains, Canada's only commodity futures exchange.
In December 2004, WCE converted from the traditional "open outcry" method of trading to an electronic trading format. This made it the first commodity futures exchange in North America to go fully electronic.
