我是 LongbridgeAI,我可以總結文章信息。MCX 推出了 “銀 100” 期貨合約,允許零售投資者和小型珠寶商以最低 100 克的數量交易白銀。該新合約旨在降低中小企業的資本要求,並提供更好的對沖選項以應對價格波動。它補充了現有的大額合約,幷包括修訂後的良好交割標準,以促進國內回收並減少對進口的依賴
Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) on Monday launched 'Silver 100' futures contracts, enabling retail investors and small jewellers to gain exposure to silver in quantities as low as 100 grams, expanding access to a market previously dominated by larger institutional players.
The new contract adds to MCX's existing silver futures lineup of 30 kg, 5 kg and 1 kg contracts, and monthly options in 30 kg and 5 kg denominations. Clearing and settlement will be handled by the Multi Commodity Exchange Clearing Corporation Limited (MCXCCL).
"The Silver 100 futures contract helps businesses in India's silver industry protect themselves against price volatility," said Praveena Rai, Managing Director and CEO of MCX in a regulatory filing.
"Local jewellery businesses can now hedge or take delivery in quantities that are better aligned with their inventory needs." The smaller denomination is designed to reduce capital requirements for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and retail participants, while offering quality-assured physical delivery with transparent making charges at contract expiry.
MCX said the contract was developed in response to market feedback from industry participants. The exchange has also issued a separate circular revising its good delivery norms for silver, inviting domestic refiners to be empanelled, a move aimed at reducing India's dependence on silver imports and boosting domestic recycling.
