    Commodity Exchanges in India

    Commodity trading is an activity which involves investing/trading in commodities. It is

    similar to stock trading but instead of buying and selling shares of companies, a trader buys

    and sells commodities. Commodities traded are often goods of value, consistent in qualityand produced in large volumes by different suppliers such as wheat, coffee and sugar.

    Trading is affected by supply and demand, thus, limited supply causes a price increase while

    excess supply causes a price decrease. Therefore, the process of commodity trading is

    directly or indirectly affected by the demand and supply in the market.

    Commodity trading is an investing strategy wherein goods are traded instead of stocks.

    Commodities can be traded on a spot level or on the futures exchanges as futures contracts. A

    futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a certain time in

    the future at a certain price. A commodity future contract is a future contract which has a

    commodity as underlying asset.

    Commodity exchanges

    A commodities exchange is an exchange where various commodities and derivatives

    products are traded.

    If you take a look at a typical trading platform, you will see commodities

    listed as tradable contracts. Commodity trading is not limited to a particular exchange.

    Investors are free to trade on various exchanges if they desire to do so. An example of a

    commodity exchange where commodities are traded is the New York Mercantile Exchange

    (NYMEX), which is the worlds largest futures commodity exchange. There are 24

    commodity exchanges in India.

    There are five national level commodity exchanges which are allowed to trade in all 113

    permitted commodities:

    Online Commodity Trading

    Trading commodities online has gained popularity for many investors in recent years. Online

    commodity trading platform offers easy and convenient trading experience to investors.

    Trading commodities online also allows instant trading without having to contact a live

    broker to place your orders. Almost everything you could possibly need to trade commodities

    is available through an online commodity trading account including commodity trading

    charts, commodity news, and technical analysis programs. Online commodity trading gives

    Disadvantages of online commodity trading

    While there are many benefits to trading commodities online, commodity investing online

    also has its disadvantages that investors should be forewarned. There are some hidden

    dangers that many novice traders overlook before they open an account to trade commodities

    online.

    You need a mentor: With this lack of guidance, it is only natural to expect that many traders

    will be prone to repeating the same mistakes which eventually cost them their risk capital.

    Trading in commodities requires a trader to have firm knowledge of the factors that affect the

    demand and supply of a particular commodity. Usually in case of online trading, you dont

    have someone to guide you with your trades. If you are new to commodity trading, then you

    may burn your fingers. Having an experienced broker with whom you can discuss trading

    strategies is likely to keep you out of trouble. Thus seeking an advice of a mentor is crucial if

    we want to improve our trading proficiency.

    Leverage: Commodity futures operate on margin, meaning that to take a position only a

    small percentage of the total value needs to be available in cash in trading account. High

    leverage means high risk attached to the account. It acts as a double edge sword where

    benefit of low margin can result in poor money management.

    Over trading: Online commodity trading can be risky if you are not disciplined. There is a

    tendency for a trader to deviate from his original trading strategy and switch to day trading

    after he gets bored of holding a market position for a considerable period of time. When this

    happens, it is similar to gambling in a casino.

    In other words, without discipline, online commodity trading can burn a hole in your pocket.

    On the other hand, those who are well disciplined and have a sound trading plan, trading

    commodities normally through an online broker is the best way to go.

    Different types of orders that can be placed

    Limit order: It is an order where the user specifies the price at (or better than) which the

    trade should be executed.

    Market order: It is an order which should be executed at whatever be the prevailing price onor after submission of such order. If there is no market at that point of time, it takes the last

    traded price and remains in the system.

    Day order: It is an order which is available for execution during the current trading session

    until executed or cancelled. All day orders will get cancelled at the end of the day during

    which such orders were submitted.

    Stop loss order: It is an order placed which is kept by the system in suspended mode and will

    be visible to the market only when the market price of the relevant commodity reaches or

    crossed a threshold price, which is called as trigger price as defined by the member. It is usedas a tool to limit the loss.

    1. Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd(MCX)

    MCX (BSE: 534091) is an independent commodity exchange based in India. It was

    established in 2003 and is based in Mumbai. The turnover of the exchange for the fiscal year

    2009 was US$ 1.24 trillion, and in terms of contracts traded, it was in 2009 the world's sixth

    largest commodity exchange. MCX offers futures trading in bullion, ferrous and non-ferrousmetals, energy, and a number of agricultural commodities (mentha oil, cardamom, potatoes,

    palm oil and others).

    In 2011, MCX has taken the fifth spot among the global commodity bourses in terms of the

    number of futures contracts traded. Based on the latest data from Futures Industry

    Association (FIA), during the period between January and June this year, about 127.8 million

    futures contracts were traded on MCX.

    MCX has also set up in joint venture the MCX Stock Exchange. Earlier spin-offs from the

    company include the National Spot Exchange, an electronic spot exchange for bullion andagricultural commodities, and National Bulk Handling Corporation (NBHC) India's largest

  • 8/11/2019 Ibfs Sanya

    7/17

    collateral management company which provides bulk storage and handling of agricultural

    products.

    In February 2012, MCX has come out with a public issue of 6,427,378 Equity Shares of Rs.

    10 face value in price band of 860 - 1032 Rs. per equity share to raise around $134 million. It

    is the first ever IPO by an Indian exchange.

    It is regulated by the Forward Markets Commission.

    MCX is India's No. 1 commodity exchange with 83% market share in 2009

    The exchange's main competitor is National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Ltd

    Globally, MCX ranks no. 1 in silver, no. 2 in natural gas, no. 3 in crude oil and gold

    in futures trading (But actual volume is far behind CME group volume as Silver is

    traded in 30 Kg lots on MCX whereas CME traded in Approx 155 kg Lot size same in

    Gold 1 kg : 3. Kg Approx and Crude 100 Barrels : 1000 Barrels on CME) and major

    volume in manipulated as there in no strict regulation in Indian markets just to

    Excalate the prices of Shares of company. Also the major volume comes from

    Arbitration of CME and MCX which is also not legal to do.

    The highest traded item is gold.

    MCX has several strategic alliances with leading exchanges across the globe

    As of early 2010, the normal daily turnover of MCX was about US$ 6 to 8 billion

    MCX now reaches out to about 800 cities and towns in India with the help of about

    126,000 trading terminals

    Clearing and Settlement System

    Clearing

    National Commodity Clearing Limited (NCCL) undertakes clearing of trades executed on the

    NCDEX. Only clearing members including professional clearing members (PCMs) are

    entitled to clear and settle contracts through the clearing house. At NCDEX, after the trading

    hours on the expiry date, based on the available information, the matching for deliveries takes

    place firstly, on the basis of locations and then randomly, keeping in view the factors such as

    available capacity of the vault/warehouse, commodities already deposited and dematerialized

    and offered for delivery etc. Matching done by this process is binding on the clearing

    members. After completion of the matching process, clearing members are informed of the

    deliverable/receivable positions and the unmatched positions. Unmatched positions have to

    be settled in cash. The cash settlement is only for the incremental gain/ loss as determined on

    the basis of final settlement price

    Settlement

    Futures contracts have two types of settlements, the Mark-to-Market (MTM) settlement

    which happens on a continuous basis at the end of the day, and the final settlement which

    happens on the last trading day of the futures contract. On the NCDEX, daily MTM

    settlement in respect of admitted deals in futures contracts are cash settled by debiting/crediting the clearing accounts of clearing members (CMs) with the respective clearing bank.

  • 8/11/2019 Ibfs Sanya

    13/17

    All positions of CM, brought forward, created during the day or closed out during the day,

    are mark to market at the daily settlement price or the final settlement price on the contract

    expiry.

    The responsibility of settlement is on a trading cum clearing member for all trades done on

    his own account and his client's trades. A professional clearing member is responsible for

    settling all the participants trades which he has confirmed to the Exchange. Few days before

    expiry date, as announced by Exchange from time to time, members submit delivery

    information through delivery request window on the trader workstation provided by NCDEX

    for all open position for a commodity for all constituents individually. NCDEX on receipt of

    such information matches the information and arrives at a delivery position for a member for

    a commodity. The seller intending to make delivery takes the commodities to the designated

    warehouse. These commodities have to be assayed by the Exchange specified assayer. The

    commodities have to meet the contract specifications with allowed variances. If the

    commodities meet the specifications, the warehouse accepts them. Warehouse then ensuresthat the receipts get updated in the depository system giving a credit in the depositor's

    electronic account. The seller then gives the invoice to his clearing member, who would

    courier the same to the buyer's clearing member. On an appointed date, the buyer goes to the

    warehouse and takes physical possession of the commodities.

    Clearing Days and Scheduled Time

    Daily Mark to Market settlement where 'T' is the trading day

    Mark to Market Pay-in (Payment): T+1 working day.

    Mark to Market Pay-out (Receipt): T+1 working day.

    The settlement schedule for Final settlement for futures contracts is given by the Exchange in

    detail for each commodity.

    Timings for Funds settlement:

    Pay-out: On Scheduled day as per settlement calendars.

    3. National Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd., Ahemdabad

    (NMCE)

    The NMCE is India's third-largest commodities exchange behind MCX and NCDEX and has

    grown significantly as commodity trading in India has rebounded from the 2008 financial

    crisis. NMCE is India's top listed of coffee and rubber contracts and seeks to broaden into

    the currency derivatives and spot markets.

    NMCE was promoted by Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC), National Agricultural

    Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED), Gujarat Agro-Industries Corporation

    Limited (GAICL), Gujarat State Agricultural Marketing Board (GSAMB), National Institute

    of Agricultural Marketing (NIAM), and Neptune Overseas Limited (NOL). While various

    integral aspects of commodity economy, viz., warehousing, cooperatives, private and public

    sector marketing of agricultural commodities, research and training were adequately

    addressed in structuring the Exchange, finance was still a vital missing link. Punjab NationalBank (PNB) took equity of the Exchange to establish that linkage. Even today, NMCE is the

  • 8/11/2019 Ibfs Sanya

    15/17

    only Exchange in India to have such investment and technical support from the commodity

    relevant institutions.

    The Department of Consumer Affairs in the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public

    Distribution -Government of India, is the apex regulatory body governing all commodity

    exchanges. Various powers to provide regulatory supervision, besides the powers to grant or

    withdraw recognition of any exchange rests with this Department of the Government of India.

    The Forward Markets Commission (FMC) was set up in 1953 to provide regulatory advice to

    the Government and have closer regulatory interaction with the commodity exchanges. Most

    of the regulatory powers of the Central Government have been delegated to the FMC. For

    example, FMC has powers to approve the Memorandum and Articles of Associations as well

    as Byelaws of the Exchange. It has also powers to conduct inspection of accounts of the

    exchanges/their members, inquire into the affairs of the exchange. In an emergency, it can

    even suspend trading. All contracts for futures trade have to be approved by the FMC before

    they can be launched on the exchange. As a self-regulatory organization, NMCE also playsan important role by ensuring that the provisions in the Articles of Association and Byelaws

    etc. are followed in letter and spirit. The regulation by the Exchange is rule-based and

    incorporated in the software itself. Regulation involving human intervention and of

    discretionary nature is implemented through various committees of professional and experts.

    Special care is taken while constituting these committees to ensure that there is no conflict of

    interest.

    NMCE facilitates electronic derivatives trading through robust and tested trading platform,

    Derivative Trading Settlement System (DTSS), provided by CMC. It has robust delivery

    mechanism making it the most suitable for the participants in the physical commoditymarkets. It has also established fair and transparent rule-based procedures and demonstrated

    total commitment towards eliminating any conflicts of interest. It is the only Commodity

    Exchange in the world to have received ISO 9001:2000 certification from British Standard

    Institutions (BSI). NMCE was the first commodity exchange to provide trading facility

    through internet, through Virtual Private Network (VPN).

    NMCE follows best international risk management practices. The contracts are marked to

    market on daily basis. The system of upfront margining based on Value at Risk is followed to

    ensure financial security of the market. In the event of high volatility in the prices, special

    intra-day clearing and settlement is held. NMCE was the first to initiate process of

    dematerialization and electronic transfer of warehoused commodity stocks. The unique

    strength of NMCE is its settlements via a Delivery Backed System, an imperative in the

    commodity trading business. These deliveries are executed through a sound and reliable

    Warehouse Receipt System, leading to guaranteed clearing and settlement.

    4. Indian Commodity Exchange Limited (ICEX)
