NSE receives approval from US derivatives regulator CFTC to sell products

Will enable domestic stock exchange to sell its products to US-based investors

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has received approval from the US derivatives regulator, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), to sell its products to US-based investors.

The US equity and commodity derivatives are regulated by CFTC and institutional investors based in the US are allowed to invest only in those derivatives that are CFTC-approved.

With the approval, US-based institutional investors will be able to trade in NSE-listed derivatives without any restrictions.
