National Stock Exchange (NSE) on Friday said it will launch futures contracts on underlying WTI crude oil and natural gas in the commodity derivatives segment from May 15.
This comes after the exchange, last month, received approval from markets regulator Sebi to launch the rupee-denominated Nymex WTI crude oil and natural gas futures contracts in its commodity derivatives segment.
These contracts will expand NSE’s product offering in the energy basket and its overall commodity segment.
Experts believe that these contracts would provide the market participants with an efficient avenue to hedge their price risk.
