Do you have further info about when options trading in commodity market will be introduced.
Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) today said it hopes that the proposed amendments in Forward Contract Regulation Act (FCRA) for allowing trading of options and indices in commodities will be soon passed by Parliament.
A Parliamentary Standing Committee, reviewing amendments to the FCRA, has already submitted its report, permitting index derivatives (futures and options) and options in individual commodities.
"We hope that Parliament will approve recommendations of the standing committee that allows trading of options and indices in commodities," MCX MD and CEO Lamon Rutten told reporters.
The amendment in the FCRA would allow "us to expand our product range by offering trading in real estate indices and futures and options on rainfall based-products", he added.
Rutten said MCX has tie-ups with firms providing weather and real estate related data.
MCX plans to expand network by providing innovative products and introducing new revenue lines such as data vending, he added.
