progress and productive efficiency would remained under utilized.
The risk of mobilization and allocation of savings might have been attempted by a
much less specialized institution than stock exchanges in the olden days. As the business
and the industry expanded and economy assumed more complex nature, a need for
permanent finance arose. Entrepreneurs require money for long-term where as
investors demanded liquidity and facility to convert their investments into cash at any
given time. The solution to this problem gave way for the origin of stock exchanges,
which is a ready market investment and liquidity.

Indian markets have recently thrown open a new avenue for investors and
traders to participate: COMMODITY DERIVATIVES. For those who want to diversify
their portfolios beyond shares, bonds and real estate, commodities are the best option.
Commodities actually offer immense potential to become a separate asset
class for market-savvy investors, arbitrageurs and speculators. They are also easy to
understand as far as fundamentals of demand and supply are concerned. Historically,
pricing in commodities futures has been less volatile compared with equity and bonds,
thus providing an efficient portfolio diversification option.

COMMODITY MARKET
INTRODUCTION
Commodities Futures trading! in India have a long history. The first
commodity futures market appeared in 1875. But the new standardized form of trading in
the Indian capital market is an attractive package for all the people who earn money
through speculation by trading into FUTURES. It is a well-known fact and should be
remembered that the trading in commodities through futures exchanges is merely, old
wine in a new bottle.
The trading in commodities was started with the first transaction that took
place between two individuals. They can relate this to the ancient method of trading i.e.,
BARTER SYSTEM. This method faced the initial hiccups due to the problems like: store
of value, medium of exchange, deferred payment, measure of wealth etc.. This led to the
invention of MONEY. As the market started to expand, the problem of scarcity piled up.
The farmers/traders then felt the need to protect themselves against the
fluctuations in the price for their produce. In the ancient times, the commodities traded
were the Agricultural Produce, which was exposed to higher risk i.e., the natural
calamities and had to face the price uncertainty. It was certain that during the scarcity, the
farmer realized higher prices and during the oversupply he had to loose his profitability.
On the other hand, the trader had to pay higher price during the scarcity and vice versa. It
was at this time that both joined hands and entered into a contract for the trade i.e.,
delivery of the produce after the harvest, for a price decided earlier. By this both had
reduced the future uncertainty.
HASVITA PG COLLEGE
Page 19
One stone still remained unturned- surety of honoring the contract on part
from either of the parties. This problem was settled in the year 1848, when a group of
traders in CHICAGO came forward to standardize the trading. They initiated the concept
of to-arrive contract and permitted the farmers to lock in the price upfront and deliver
the grain at a contracted date later. This trading was carried on a platform called
CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE, one of the most popular commodities trading
exchanges today. It was this time that the trading in commodity futures picked up and
never looked back.
Although in the 19 th century only agricultural produce was traded as a
futures contract, but now, the commodities of global or at least domestic importance are
being traded over the commodity futures exchanges. This form of trading has proved
useful as a device for HEDGING and SPECULATION. The commodities that are traded
today are:
Agro-Based Commodities Wheat, Corn, Cotton, Oils, Oilseeds etc..
Soft Commodities.. Coffee, Cocoa, Sugar etc
Livestock. Live Cattle, Pork Bellies etc
Energy.. Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Gasoline etc
Precious Metals.. Gold, Silver, Platinum etc
Other Metals Nickel, Aluminum, Copper etc

DERIVATIVES MARKET
INTRODUCTION
The derivative is a product whose value is derived form the value of one or
more variables/underlying assets called bases in a contractual manner. They have no
value of their own but derive it from the underlying asset that is being dealt with under
the derivative contract. Thus derivate contracts acquire their value from the spot prices of
the assets that are covered by the contract. The primary purpose of a derivative contract is
to transfer risk from one party to another they have established themselves as
irreplaceable tools to hedge against risks in the market. The underlying asset can be
equity, forex, commodity or any other asset.
The emergence of the market for derivative product, most notably
forwards, futures and options can be traced back to the willingness of the risk-averse
economic agents to guard themselves against the uncertainties resulting out of the
fluctuations in the underlying assets prices. It is because of this nature, that, the markets
[financial/commodities] are marked with a higher degree of volatility through the uses of
derivative products. The risk of the prices can be transferred fully or partially by, lockingin the asset prices in the form of futures or forwards.
As an instrument of risk management, these do not influence the
fluctuations in the prices of the underlying assets. Infact, by locking-in the assets prices,
derivative products minimize the impact of the fluctuations in the asset prices on the
profitability and cash-flow of the investors.
HASVITA PG COLLEGE
Page 22
The Indian derivatives market has a history of more than a century, but is
still in a nascent stage vis--vis the global derivatives market. Today they have an active
derivatives market in the segment of stocks and foreign currency, while the trading in the
commodities is just standardized. The OTC derivatives in India are well established and
the Indian capital markets have acquired the international flavor and the volumes in the
derivatives market in at a pace to climb up.
A contract bought by paying an upfront margin is calculated as value added
risk (VAR) basis. Which traces the volatility in the underlying assets (stock or
commodities) prices to arrive at margin that is reflected of this volatility? Stock futures
are linear and are absolutely similar to simple stocks i.e., ideally if the stock goes up and
payoff.
HASVITA PG COLLEGE
Page 23
They are risk free investors whose intention is to have a safety mechanism
and wish to protect their portfolio. Nevertheless, they are pursued as a cheap and efficient
way of moving risk within the economic system. But the world of derivatives is riddled
with jargons making it more awesome.
The trading in equity through the derivatives in India was introduced in
the year 2000 by the Securities and Exchange Board of India [SEBI] and this was
described as the Indias derivative explosion. Although this took a definite form in
2000 but the idea was initiated in the year 1995. it was then in the year 2000 that SEBI
permitted the trading the in the options on the platforms of Indias premier exchange
platforms i.e., the National Stock Exchange Of India limited [NSE] and The Bombay
Stock Exchange [BSE] in the individual securities. But the futures contracts took 17 long
months to get launched on November 09 2001.
The trading in options and futures in the individual stocks were permitted
to trade on the stable stocks only. The small and highly volatile stocks were an exemption
from the trade in derivatives. Futures and options are important tools that help the
investors to derive profit. The futures facilitate the investor to enter into a contract to
deliver the underlying security at a future date whereas, the options allow it to his
discretion as to whether he wants to buy (call) or sell (put) the contract.
The current trading behavior in the derivatives segment reveals that
single stock futures continues to account for a sizeable proportion. A recent report
indicates that the trading in the individual stock futures in the Indian exchanges has
reached global volumes. One possible reason for such a behavior of the trader could be
that futures closely resemble the erstwhile BADLA system.

COMMODITY DERIVATIVES
Commodity market is an important constituent of the financial markets of any
country. It is the market where a wide range of products, viz., precious metals, base
metals, crude oil, energy and soft commodities like palm oil, coffee etc. are traded. It is
important to develop a vibrant, active and liquid commodity market. This would help
investors hedge their commodity risk, take speculative positions in commodities and
exploit arbitrage opportunities in the market.
The need for a futures market in the commodities, especially, in the primary
commodities was emphasized because such a market not only
provides ample
opportunities for effective management of price risk, but also, assists inefficient
discovery of prices which can serve as a reference for the trade in the physical
commodities in both the external as well as in the internal market.
HASVITA PG COLLEGE
Page 25
There was an effort to revive these markets but all went in vain due to
improper infrastructure and facilities. However, after India joined the WORLD TRADE
ORGANIZATION the need to protect the agricultural community against the price
fluctuations cropped up. The National agricultural policy 2000 was formulated and
proposes to expand the coverage of the futures market to minimize the volatility in the
commodities prices and hedging the risk arising out of the fluctuations in the prices. As a
result of this there is a standardized form of commodity futures trading in the country,
today and a lot number of people are active in the commodities exchanges, taking it to a
great high.
The active players in these exchanges are Traders, Speculators and the Hedgers.
It is said that now-a days the prices of the commodities in the Physical Market (Mandis)
is derived in accordance to the spot prices in the commodity exchanges.

TRADING INSTRUMENTS
Derivatives in the recent times have become very popular because of their
wide application. Before getting into the hard talks about the commodities trade, let us
know about the trading instruments in the derivatives, as they are similarly applicable to
the commodities derivatives.
There are 4 types of Derivatives instrument:
Forward contract
Future contract
Options contract
Swap
Futures and Options are actively used in many exchanges whereas; Forwards and Swaps
are mostly trade Over the Counter (OTC).
FORWARDS CONTRACT
A spot or cash market is the most commonly used for trading. A majority of
their day-to-day transactions are in the cash market. In addition to the cash purchase,
another way trading is by entering into a Forward contract. A Forward contract is an
agreement to buy or sell an asset on a specified date of a specified price. These contracts
are usually entered between a financial institution and its corporate clients or two
financial institutions themselves. In the context to the Commodity trading, prior to the
standardization, the trade was carried out as a forwards contract between the
Associations, Producers and Traders. Where the Association used to act as counter for the
trade.
HASVITA PG COLLEGE
Page 27
The forward contract is settled at the maturity date. The holder of the short position
delivers the assets to the holder of the long position on the maturity against a cash
payment that equals to the delivery price by the buyer. The price agreed in the forwards
contract is the DILIVERY PRICE. Since the delivery price is chosen at the time of
entering into the contract, the value of the contract becomes zero to both the parties and
costs nothing to either the holder of the long position or to the holder of the short
position.
HASVITA PG COLLEGE
Page 28
FUTURES CONTRACT
Financial futures represent the most significant financial innovations of the
last twenty years. - As quoted by MERTON MILLER, a noble lauret 1999.
The father of financial derivatives is Leo Me lamed. The first exchange that
traded in the financial derivatives was INTERNATIONAL MONETARY MARKET,
wing of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Chicago, in the year 1972.
The futures market was designed to solve the problems, existing in the forwards market.
A financial future is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a standard quantity
of a specified good/asset on a future date at an agreed price. Accordingly, future contracts
are promises: the person who initially sells the contract promises to deliver a specified
underlying asset to a designated delivery point during a certain month, called delivery
month. The underlying asset could, well be, a commodity, stock market index, individual
stock, currency, interest rates etc.. The party to the contract who determines to pay a price
for the goods is assumed to take a long position, while the other who agrees to sell is
assumed to be taking a short position.

OPTIONS CONTRACT
Options have existed over a long period but were traded over the counter
(OTC) only. These contracts are fundamentally different from that of futures and
forwards. In the recent years options have become fundamental to the working of global
capital markets. They are traded on a wide variety of underlying assets on both, the
exchanges and OTC. Options like the futures are also available on many traditional
products such as equities, stock indices, commodities and foreign exchange interest rates
etc., options are used as a derivate instrument only in financial capital market in India and
not in commodity derivatives. It is in the process in introduction.
Options, like futures, also speculative in nature. Options is a legal contract
which, facilitate the holder of the contract, the right but not the obligations to buy or sell
the underlying asset at the fixed rate on a future date. It should be highlighted that, unlike
that the futures and forward contract the options gives the buyer of the contract, the right
to enter into a contract and he doesnt have to necessarily exercise the right to give, take
the delivery. When a contract is made the buyer has to pay some money as a Premium
to the seller to acquire such a right.
Options are basically of two types.
Call options
Put options
HASVITA PG COLLEGE
Page 32
Call options:
A call options gives the buyer the right to buy the underlying asset at a strike
price specified in the option. The profit/loss depends on the expiration date of the contract
if the spot price exceeds the strike price the holder of the contract books a profit and viceversa. Higher the spot price more is the profit.
Put options:
A put option gives the buyer the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike
price specified in the option. The profit/loss that the buyer makes on the option depends
on the spot price of the underlying asset. If the spot price is below the strike price he
makes profit and vice-versa. If the spot price is higher than the strike price he will wait up
to the expiry or else book the profit early.
SWAPS:
Swaps were developed as a long-term price risk management instrument available
on the over-the-counter market. Swaps are private agreements between two parties to
exchange cash flows in the future according to a pre-arranged formula. These agreements
are used to manage risk in the financial markets and exploit the available opportunity for
arbitrage in the capital market.
A swap, generically, is an exchange. In the financial parlance it refers to an
exchange of a series of cash flows against another series of cash flows. Swaps are also
used in the asset/liability management to obtain cost-effective financing and to generate
higher risk-adjusted returns. With swaps, producers can effectively fix, i.e. lock in, the
prices they receive over the medium to long-term, and consumers can fix the prices they
have to pay. No delivery of the asset is involved; the mechanism of swaps is purely
financial.
HASVITA PG COLLEGE
Page 33
The swaps market originated in the late 1970s, when simultaneous loans were
arrange between British and the US entities to bypass regulatory barriers on the
movement of foreign currency .the land mark transaction between the World Bank and
the IBM in august 1981, paved the way for the development of a market that has grown
from a nominal volume in the early 1980s to an outstanding turnover of US $ 46.380tn
in 1999.
Interest rate swaps: These entail swapping only the interest related cash flows
between the parties in the same currency.
Currency swaps: These entail swapping both principal and interest between the
parties, with the cash flows in one direction being in a different currency than those in the
opposite direction.

HEDGERS
He is the person who enters the derivatives market to lock-in their prices to
avoid exposure to adverse movements in the price of an asset. While such locking may
not be extremely profitable the extent of loss is known and can be minimized. They are in
the position where they face risk associated with the price of an asset. They use
derivatives to reduce or eliminate risk.
For example, a farmer may use futures or options to establish the price for
his crop long before he harvests it. Various factors affect the supply and demand for that
crop, causing prices to rise and fall over the growing season. The farmer can watch the
prices discovered in trading at the CBOT and, when they reflect the price he wants, will
sell futures contracts to assure him of a fixed price for his crop.
A perfect hedge is almost impossible. While hedging Basis risk could arise.
Basis = Spot price of asset to be hedged Futures price of the contract used. Basis risk
arises as a result of the following uncertainties:
The exact date when the asset will be bought or sold may not be known.
The hedge may require that the Futures contract be closed before expiration.

SPECULATORS:
A speculator is a one who accepts the risk that hedgers wish to
transfer. A speculator takes positions on expectations of futures price movements and in
order to make a profit. In general a speculator buy futures contracts when he expect
futures prices to rise and sell futures contract when he expects futures prices to fall, but
has no desire to actually own the physical commodity.
Speculators wish to bet on the future movement in the price of an
asset. They use derivatives to get extra leverage. They take positions in the market and
assume risk to profit from fluctuations in the prices. Infact, the speculators consume the
information, make forecast about the prices and put their money in these forecast. By
taking positions, they are betting that the price would go up or they are betting it would
go down. Depending on their perception, they may long or short positions on the futures
or /and options, or may hold spread positions.
HASVITA PG COLLEGE

ARBITRAGEURS
Simultaneous purchase of securities in one market where the price
thereof is low and sale thereof in another market, where the price thereof is
comparatively higher. These are done when the same securities are been quoted at
different prices in the two markets, with a view to make a profit and carried on with
the conceived intention to derive advantage from difference in prices of securities
prevailing in the two markets.
-As defined by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Arbitrageurs thrive on the market imperfections. They profit by trading on
given commodities, or items, that are in the business to take advantage of a discrepancy
between prices in two different markets. If, for example, they see the future prices of an
asset getting out of line with the cash price, they will take offsetting positions in the two
markets to lock in a profit.
Thus, the arbitrage involves making risk-less profit by simultaneously entering
into transactions in two or more markets. With the introduction of derivate trading the
scope of arbitrageurs activities extends to arbitrage over time i.e., he can buy securities
in an index today and sell the futures, maturing in the month or two.
HASVITA PG COLLEGE
Page 38
Hedgers Vs Speculators
Hedging is the key aspect of derivatives and also its basic economic purpose.
In the U.S., the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the futures
regulatory authority, while considering proposals for approval of a new
derivative product, particularly examines the ability of the product to provide
hedging. While the Committee has also emphasized the hedging aspect of
derivatives, it fully recognizes that the derivatives markets capacity to absorb
buying/selling by hedgers is directly dependent on the availability of
speculators to act as counter-parties to hedgers. Hedging will not be possible
if there are no speculators.
For the above reason, decisions about many aspects of derivatives trading,
e.g., contract size, design and duration, would have to strike a balance
between the needs of the hedgers and the necessity to attract an adequate
number of well-capitalized speculators who are prepared to take upon
themselves the price risk which hedgers want to give up. The fact is that a
futures market, to be able to operate and be liquid, should have both hedging
participation and speculative appeal. Some studies of futures markets in the
U.S. have shown that hedging activity accounts for about 50-60 per cent of
the markets total volume.

EXCHANGE TRADING
An asset (commodity/stock), when is traded over an organized exchange is it is
termed, to be traded on the Exchange. This type of trading is the general trading which
they see on the major exchanges world over. The settlement in the exchange trading is
highly standardized.
HASVITA PG COLLEGE

exchange-traded and OTC derivative contracts offer many benefits, the former have rigid
structures compared to the latter. It has been widely discussed that the highly leveraged
institutions and their OTC derivative positions were the main cause of turbulence in
financial markets in 1998. These episodes of turbulence revealed the risks posed to
market stability originating in features of OTC derivative instruments and markets.

electronically. Volume at the exchange in 2003 was a record breaking 454 million
contracts.
In its early history, the CBOT traded only agricultural commodities such as
corn, wheat, oats and soybeans. Futures contracts at the exchange evolved over the years
to include non-storable agricultural commodities and non-agricultural products like gold
and silver. The CBOT's first financial futures contract, launched in October 1975, was
based on Government National Mortgage Association mortgage-backed certificates.
Since that introduction, futures trading has been initiated in many financial instruments,
including U.S. Treasury bonds and notes, stock indexes, and swaps, to name but a few.
Another market innovation, options on futures, was introduced in 1982.
For more than 150 years, the primary method of trading at the CBOT was
open auction, which involved traders meeting face-to-face in trading pits to buy and sell
futures contracts. But to better meet the needs of a growing global economy, the CBOT
successfully launched its first electronic trading system in 1994. During the last decade,
as the use of electronic trading has become more prevalent, the exchange has upgraded its
electronic trading system several times. Most recently, on January 1, 2004, the CBOT
debuted its new electronic platform powered by the cutting-edge trading technology. As
of 1st January, 2004, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange is providing clearing and related
services for all CBOT products

CONCLUSION
1. Commodities market, contrary to the beliefs of many people has been in existence in
India through the ages. However the recent attempt by the Government to permit Multicommodity National levels exchanges has indeed given it, a shot in the arm.
2. Commodity includes all kinds of goods. FCRA defines goods as every kind of
movable property other than actionable claims, money and securities. Futures trading
are organized in such goods or commodities as are permitted by the Central Government.
3. Firstly, the price movements are more predictable, purely based on demand and supply
of that commodity, unlike in other markets where price manipulations are very much
possible, hence the investor is fixed. To that extent market price risk is reduced.
4. Secondly, the markets are working virtually round the clock, (NCDEX works from
10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and next session from 7:00 PM to 11:00PM) so any drastic news is
digested.
5. The future contracts available on a wide spectrum of commodities like Gold, Silver,
Cotton, Steel, Soya oil, Soya beans, Wheat, Sugar, Channa etc., provide excellent
opportunities for hedging the risks of the formers ,importers, exporters, traders and large
scale consumer.

SUGGESTIONS
Investors should explore the possibility of investing in mutual fund schemes
devoted to commodities market as the present day equity markets are at all time
lows.
If Government takes this commodity market to increase awareness among
farmers, they would be able to get better returns for their produce.
