News Capsule: NCDEX Likely to Launch Corn and Pepper Futures
★ NCDEX stated that although India is the world’s largest producer and importer of pepper, there is currently no active futures market for it.
★ NCDEX has submitted the required documents to start a futures market.
★ Consideration is also being given to launching corn futures, as increased use of corn in ethanol has boosted its industrial consumption.
★ Corn futures were launched earlier as well, but they did not function smoothly. This time, there is hope that corn futures trading will run successfully.
