Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange (DGCX) has set a new monthly volume record for 2009 with 158,074 contracts in May which reflects a year-on-year increase of 77 per cent.
With an underlying value of $7.5 billion, its total volumes in May were the highest monthly volume achieved this year mainly driven by renewed interest in DGCX Gold, WTI and Indian Rupee/Dollar futures contracts.
The volume exceeded the previous high of 101,215 contracts achieved in March 2009, said a DGCX official, adding the year-on-year growth in average daily volume was 85 per cent.
Gold futures volume rose to 67,752 contracts in May, up 31 per cent on the same period last year, while Indian Rupee and WTI crude oil futures achieved record monthly volumes of 10,649 and 55,253 contracts in May.
The higher volume in May is evidence of a growing number of local participants favouring the commodity and currency sectors as alternative asset classes and the transparent, secure trading environment of DGCX, said Malcolm Wall Morris, chief executive officer, DGCX.
'So far, the year has witnessed new volume records for specific products, such as Euro/Dollar and WTI crude oil. But May saw total volume hitting a new high for the year, encouraged by sustained activity across all product segments,' he noted.
The trend reaffirms strong interest in commodity and currency derivatives in the region,” he added.
While precious metals gained momentum, currencies have also contributed significantly to overall growth, with year-to-date volumes rising 46 per cent.
Overall, May volume was 61 per cent higher compared with April, spurred by a 46 per cent increase in Gold, 47 per cent in GBP/Dollar and 179 per cent in Indian Rupee/Dollar futures
My name is Fajar. I live in Bedono in Central Java I was in a very chronic financial issue and terminal health situation some few weeks back. After all my search for assistance from friends and neighbors proved abortive, I feel there was no one who truly cares. I became so exhausted due to lack of funds to expand my business and my 2 kids aged 5 and 8 were also not good looking due to lack of proper care as a result of finance.
