The largest commodities bourse -- Multi-Commodities Exchange (MCX) has decided to accept gold and silver bars refined at domestic refineries for deliveries, subject to final regulatory approval. The move will widen the present delivery list, which is limited only to the London and Emirates gold and silver bars, and help increase delivery volumes of these metals.
The specified purity/fineness for the gold and gold mini contracts is 995 (with provision to deliver higher quality with proportionate premium), while for the gold guinea and gold petal contracts it is 999; and for the silver bars, in silver mini and silver micro contracts, the fineness is 999. Acceptance of bullion bars refined by domestic refineries for delivery via MCX contracts is subject to the refiners meeting the exchange-set criteria from time to time.
MCX has a market share of 93.40 per cent by value of commodity futures contracts traded overall, and when it comes to bullion derivatives the same is 99.67 per cent, with that of gold futures at 99.01 per cent and silver futures at 99.70 per cent, respectively. The exchange has deliverable bullion futures contracts in multiple denominations like gold (1 kg), gold mini (100 g), gold guinea (8 g), gold petal (1 g); silver (30 kg), silver mini (5 kg), and silver micro (1 kg).
