Book excerpt: Commodity derivatives play a pivotal role in the price risk management process especially in any agricultural surplus country. As unique hedging instruments derivatives such as forwards, futures, swaps, options and exotic derivative products are extensively used in the global market. However, Indian market is limited to commodity futures only. The present study is an investigation into the present status, growth constraints and developmental policy alternatives for commodity futures markets in India. The study has surveyed the various publicly available websites of recognized commodity exchanges and their organizational and the regulatory set up for futures trading. Also, as the factors that drive commodity prices are observed to be different from the factors that drive equity prices, commodities are perceived to be effective diversifying agents. This study explores the advantages of adding commodities to a portfolio of equities in Indian context based on empirical data and quantifies the diversification benefit and downside risk protection the commodities offer in portfolio context. The study concluded that the less-than-perfect or negative correlation of commodities with equities makes them an excellent candidate for diversification. This diversification benefit was demonstrated in two ways. First, it was observed that by adding commodity futures to a portfolio of equities enhance the risk-adjusted return of a portfolio. Second, it was observed that adding commodity futures to equity portfolios provides a significant downside protection and enhances skewness and kurtosis of the return distribution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instability of commodity prices has always been a major concern of the farmers, processors, merchandisers as well as the consumers in an agriculture-dominated economy. Farmers’ direct exposure to price fluctuations makes it too risky for them to invest in other wise profitable activities. There are various ways to cope with this problem. The agriculture commodity market is one of them. It serves a risk-shifting function and can be used to lock-in prices in advance instead of relying on uncertain price developments in future. Apart from being a vehicle for risk transfer among hedgers and from hedgers to speculators, these markets also play a major role in price discovery. The primary objective of this book is to impart the basic knowledge of derivatives market, types of derivative markets, agriculture futures market, regulator of commodity market, commodity exchanges, price discovery in commodity market and awareness among various stakeholders of commodity market.

Book excerpt: On agricultural commodity futures, there is always been a doubt, expressed by different bodies and experts on the usefulness and suitability of futures contract in developing in the underlying agricultural commodity market, especially in an agricultural based economy like India.

The empirical findings significantly show that comparative advantage of the futures market in disseminating information, leading to a significant price discovery and risk management, that can help to successfully develop the underlying commodity market in India.
Download or read book Farmers Participation in India s Futures Markets written by Kushankur Dey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Futures markets offer numerous advantages in the marketing of agricultural commodities, and in this context, the book examines the major factors and issues that determine the participation of India’s farmers in the futures markets. These include the efficiency of the futures markets in price discovery, the convergence of spot and futures prices, the dissemination of spot price information, and the socio-economic and exchange-related issues affecting farmer participation. It also examines the factors affecting the demand and supply of participation, and the access to futures trading services. The purpose is to identify different factors that can enhance or constrain farmer participation in the futures markets, which may include market characteristics, institutional features, socio-economic issues, and behavioural aspects of farmer participation. A number of organizations related to rural development, as well as farmer producer companies have sought to facilitate farmer participation in the forward/futures market through offering aggregation and other trading services, and the book also examines these efforts towards the exchange-traded derivative markets and the direct and indirect benefits that accrue. The book also studies the efficiency of futures markets in price discovery and price dissemination applying co-integration tests, and error correction and volatility models, using available data of wheat, rapeseed-mustard, cotton, guar seed, castor, cumin and coriander futures contracts traded in the largest agricultural commodity exchanges in India. Besides, case studies are used to examine and understand the institutional roles of aggregators in aggregation efforts towards the forward/futures market. This book covers several states and locations in India to enhance the representation and validity of the findings. It also examines representative farmer organizations which have obtained institutional membership in the forward or futures markets, and identifies areas of further research. In the current scenario, the book would be of immense importance and relevance to governments, commodity exchanges/markets, aggregators, many private and development organizations, as well as interested researchers and students.

Download or read book Commodity Derivatives Trading written by Madhoo Pavaskar and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the long and chequered history of commodity derivatives trading in this country, extending for more than century and a half, neither the lay nor the learned, including, surprisingly, most economists and even those involved in regulation of commodity derivatives exchanges, betray lack of knowledge on the theory, working, utility, and regulation of trading in commodity derivatives of diverse hues. It is against this background, the present book is aimed at teaching the commodity derivatives exchanges, their participants, the regulator s, and the students of commodity derivatives economics and managements, both the theory and regulation of commodity derivatives trading in all its aspects. For, a commodity economy like India must aim to develop strong global commodity derivatives markets in the country to promote swift growth in agriculture, industry, and international trade by strengthening competition and competitive efficiency to improve productivity, as also proficiency in marketing in all sectors of the economy. This book is a modest step towards achieving that aim and objective.

Book excerpt: The main purpose of the present study would be to look into some characteristics of the Indian commodity futures market in order to judge whether prices indicate efficient functioning of the market or otherwise, particularly as this market is less developed compared to the financial derivatives markets, being constrained by its chequered history with many policy reversals. Using the available notional price indices for the commodity market we find that multi-commodity indices, which have higher exposure to metals and energy products, with clear and efficient price dissemination in national and international markets, behave like the equity indices in terms of efficiency and flow of information. Both the contemporaneous futures and spot prices contribute to price discovery and the futures market can provide information for current spot prices and thus help to reduce volatility in the spot prices of the relevant commodities and provide for effective hedging of price risk. Agricultural indices on the other hand do not exhibit such features very clearly. Our results also help to build a case for opening up of parts of the Indian agricultural futures market.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2002, when the government permitted futures trading on most of the commodities and allowed setting up of national level exchanges, trading in agricultural commodities grew very fast with soy oil, soy bean, mustard seed and chana constituting the major share in 2013. The current study attempts to analyze the price behavior in terms of returns as well as volatility between the spot and futures markets for these four commodities. The study uses a combination of VECM and EGARCH models to analyze the data. The study finds existence of long-term equilibrium relationship between the futures and spot prices, with the futures leading the spot. In the short run, futures returns seem to have a stronger impact on the spot returns in most of the commodities.

Download or read book Effects of Futures Markets on Agricultural Commodities written by Madhoo G. Pavaskar and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of trade liberalization since the mid 1990s in India, commodity exchanges have been allowed to operate after a long ban of around three and half decades. In the new millennium, national level exchanges have been launched for futures trading, and they have witnessed initial successes in terms of volume and turnover. But, what has been the impact of futures trading on agricultural production and prices? Have futures markets been successful in playing their critical roles of price risk management and price discovery? Can futures markets help the various stakeholders in the agricultural value chain to hedge against the impending risks that will be posed with further agricultural trade liberalization, as India moves further towards WTO regime? Proper research to answer these critical questions has been lacking so far in the Indian context. Resultantly the literature on these aspects of futures trading has, so far, been conspicuous by its absence. The volume titled, Effects of FUTURES MARKETS on Agricultural Commodities , edited by eminent economist Dr. Madhoo Pavaskar, seeks to answer these critical questions, and attempts to bridge the gap existing in the literature. The volume is published by Takshashila Academia of Economic Research (TAER), an independent, non-partisan academic group for undertaking economic, environmental, and social research, set up by Financial Technologies (India) Limited (FTIL). The volume entails a collection of speeches and select papers presented at the seminar on Agro-Commodity Futures in India: Impact on Production and Prices, organized by erstwhile MCX Academia of Economic Research (now TAER). The contributors are leading economists, regulators, policy makers and stakeholders associated with futures markets. In its attempt to informing policy makers, stimulating research thinking, as well as to creating a general awareness of the various economic issues related to the agricultural futures markets, this book is the first of its type. It will be of interest to economists, scholars, academicians, regulators, policy makers, and various market functionaries alike.
