The Swiss commodity trader Mercuria Energy Group filed a lawsuit against the Baltic Exchange in the High Court of England demanding that the publication of the TD3C freight index from March 2026 be invalidated. The index tracks the cost of shipping oil through the Strait of Hormuz, and the company insists that its calculation had to be suspended due to the worsening conflict in the Middle East. According to the "Financial Times", the stock exchange's lawyers warn that the satisfaction of the lawsuit could lead to the cancellation of hundreds of transactions in the market.
