Precious Metals dominated turnover with 74.7%, followed by Energy at 18.6% and Base Metals at 6.68%. Agri Commodities and Index Futures contributed minimally, reflecting MCX’s heavy reliance on precious metals trading.
MCX’s growth is driven by wider participation and regulatory support. Banks, MFs, PMSs, and FPIs are increasingly active in commodity derivatives, aided by SEBI’s approvals. With 552 members and 3.47 crore UCCs, MCX benefits from strong distribution. Expansion into commodity index options, electricity derivatives, and coal trading further strengthens its market position and growth potential.
