Together, the recently launched Quanto products on Indian gold and Indian rupee accounted 13 percent of DGCX's July volumes, which reflects significant traction that the new contracts have gained amongst the regional FX and Bullion trader community.
The Gold Quanto greatly complements DGCX's contract on Gold and allows investors to gain access to the Indian gold market without being exposed to movements in the USD-INR exchange rate.
While Indian Rupee Futures retained top performer status recording a substantial growth of 13 percent from last year and continued to be the largest Exchange Traded Derivative (ETD) product globally.
The Exchange also recorded the highest average monthly Open Interest (OI) in July 2015 with 78,391 contracts, beating the previous high of 59,688 contracts in March, this year.
