The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) has launched Silver 100 futures contracts, allowing retail investors and small jewellers to participate in the silver market with quantities as low as 100 grams. The move is aimed at making silver trading more accessible to a wider range of market participants.
The newly introduced contract complements MCX’s existing silver futures offerings, which include contracts of 30 kg, 5 kg, and 1 kg, along with monthly options contracts in 30 kg and 5 kg denominations. The clearing and settlement of the contracts will be managed by Multi Commodity Exchange Clearing Corporation Limited (MCXCCL).
According to MCX Managing Director and CEO Praveena Rai, the Silver 100 futures contract is designed to help businesses in India’s silver industry manage price fluctuations more effectively. The smaller contract size allows local jewellers and businesses to hedge their exposure or take physical delivery in quantities that better match their inventory requirements.
The exchange stated that the lower denomination contract reduces the capital commitment needed from retail investors and small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It also provides quality-assured physical delivery and transparent making charges at the time of contract expiry.
MCX said the contract was introduced following feedback from market participants seeking a more accessible silver trading product. In addition, the exchange has revised its good delivery norms for silver and invited domestic refiners to apply for empanelment. This initiative is expected to support domestic silver refining and recycling while reducing reliance on imports.
