MCX asks traders to square off their trading positions in 3 contracts —
gold February 2015, kapas March 2015 and kapas April 2015
New Delhi: Leading commodity bourse MCX on
Wednesday said it discontinued six futures trading contracts in gold and
silver expiring in 2015, effective Tuesday, due to procedural problems.
The exchange also asked traders to square off their trading
positions in three contracts — gold February 2015, kapas March 2015 and
kapas April 2015.
“All these contracts will be made available for trading
after obtaining the requisite approval from the Forward Markets
Commission (FMC) for launching the contracts expiring in the calendar
year 2015 onwards,” Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd said in a statement.
The exchange withdrew one gold contract expiring in April
2015 and three ‘silver 1000’ contracts each set to expire in January,
February and March of next year, it said.
MCX discontinued one ‘silver mini’ contract and one
‘silver’ contract that were to expire in February and March next year
with effect from 29 April.
The exchange said the withdrawal of the six far-month
contracts in the two commodities is a “procedural issue” and “is not in
relation with FMC’s 17 December 2013, order.”
In the order, the FMC declared erstwhile promoter Financial Technologies India Ltd (FTIL) as “not fit and proper’ to hold more than a 2% stake in the bourse.
The regulator had given MCX a deadline till Wednesday to ensure FTIL pares its stake from the current 26%.
The regulator has warned MCX that it would not renew
contracts, allow new contracts and eventually take away the licence to
run the bourse if it does not ensure FTIL complies with the regulatory
norms.
