MCX will get permission to start a freight rate futures contract if the country’s legal framework permits trade in the intangible commodity, Forward Markets Commission (FMC) Chairman B C Khatua said.
MCX has required the commodity market regulator’s approval to launch freight rate futures, said Khatua.
In 2004, MCX had tied-up with London’s Baltic Exchange to offer freight rate contracts in India.
However, Khatua said FMC was unlikely to permit MCX to launch a deliverable commodity basket contract, which will include a composite of commodities to be traded as a group.
