DME Appoints CEO With Brief To Expand Into Asian Market

Dubai Mercantile Exchange (DME) announced on 21 June the appointment of Christopher Fix as Chief Executive Officer. DME Chairman Ahmad Sharaf said the new CEO will �lead the exchange forward in its drive to increase volumes and achieve true benchmark status for our flagship DME Oman contract. When we restructured the DME in February of this year, we signaled our intention to place more emphasis on the increasingly important Asian market. The appointment of Christopher Fix as the new DME CEO, with the Asian market knowledge and experience he brings, is a real tangible expression of that commitment.� Mr Fix has spent more than 20 years in the international commodity markets, most recently working as BNP Paribas Head of Marketing for Commodity Futures APAC, based in Singapore. The DME Oman futures contract monthly trading volume exceeded 3bn barrels for the first time in April (MEES, 9 April).
