The Tokyo Commodity Exchange (Japanese: 東京商品取引所, Hepburn: Tōkyō Shōhin Torihikijo), or TOCOM, is an energy exchange in Tokyo, Japan. TOCOM is operated by Tokyo Commodity Exchange, Inc. (Japanese: 株式会社東京商品取引所, Hepburn: Kabushiki Gaisha Tōkyō Shōhin Torihikijo, Corporate Number: 4010001121906),[2] a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan Exchange Group (JPX).[3] Under the Commodity Derivatives Transaction Act[4] of Japan, It is a licensed commodity exchange operator that provides market facilities for trading of commodity derivatives, physical commodities and commodity price index futures.[5]
TOCOM once operated electronic markets for precious metals, oil, rubber and soft commodities. It offered futures and options contracts for precious metals (gold, silver, platinum and palladium); energy (crude oil, gasoline, kerosene and gas oil); natural rubber and agricultural products (soybeans, corn and azuki).
JPX acquired TOCOM in 2019 and transferred these exchange-traded derivatives markets except energy derivatives markets to the Osaka Exchange in 2020, which became Japan's largest and one of Asia's most prominent derivatives exchanges.
Today, TOCOM is the only Japanese exchange that offers energy commodities futures on gasoline, kerosene, gas oil, Dubai crude oil, liquefied natural gas, baseload electricity, peakload electricity, Chukyo gasoline, and Chukyo kerosene.

History
TOCOM was established in 1984 with the merger of the Tokyo Textile Exchange, founded in 1951, the Tokyo Rubber Exchange and the Tokyo Gold Exchange. The exchange became a for-profit shareholder-owned company in 2008.
It launched the current trading platform based on the Nasdaq OMX technology in 2009. TOCOM will use Japan Exchange Group's new derivatives trading platform, Next J-Gate, from September 2016.
In 2019 TOCOM was acquired by JPX.[7]
The retail electricity market in Japan was fully liberalized in April 2016, followed by a series of reforms of the electricity sector in Japan, such as the revision of the rules on power grids and the establishment of a baseload electricity market of the Japan Electric Power Exchange (JEPX).[8] Against this background, the size of the JEPX wholesale electricity market expanded rapidly to reach approximately one-third of the total electricity demand in Japan.[8] As most of the power companies that newly entered the retail power market rely on JEPX for procurement, the importance of JEPX increased and the need to hedge price volatility risk rose.[8]
To meet such demands, TOCOM listed four electricity futures contracts: East Area Baseload Electricity, West Area Baseload Electricity, East Area Peakload Electricity and West Area Peakload Electricity in September 2019.[8]
In 2020, in order to centralize commodity trading and clearing operations, its non-energy futures markets were transferred to the Osaka Exchange and put under the management of Japan Securities Clearing Corporation (JSCC), which absorbed Japan Commodity Clearing House Co., Ltd. (JCCH), a subsidiary of TOCOM. This left TOCOM with only fuel and electricity futures trading.[9]
On 5 August 2020, TOCOM's head office relocated from the Tokyo Commodity Exchange Horidome Building in the Nihonbashi Horidomechō district to the Tokyo Stock Exchange Building in Tokyo's financial district, Nihonbashi Kabutochō. [2][10]
On 19 January 2023, JPX signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with JEPX so that TOCOM's electricity futures market and JEPX's electricity spot market could work together and share information to increase the convenience and competitiveness of the Japanese power market.[11] In 2022, fluctuations in electricity prices intensified due to several factors, such as rising fuel prices caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and concerns about power supply shortages in the summer and winter.[11] Under these circumstances, the role of theses markets to ensure stable power supply and hedge price fluctuation risks became even more important.[11]
