If there was money to be made in ice futures, IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) would probably trade that as well. The company is a leading online marketplace for global commodity trading, primarily of electricity, natural gas, crude oil, refined petroleum products, precious metals, and weather and emission credits. It also owns the ICE Futures Europe, a leading European energy futures and options platform. ICE's 10x Group unit provides real-time market data reports, and the company's eConfirm platform provides electronic trade confirmations. In a major expansion the company acquired the New York Board of Trade (renamed ICE Futures US) for $1 billion in 2007.
