MCX shares hit record highs
Shares of Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) hit lifetime intraday high on Monday after the country’s largest commodity bourse obtained regulatory clearance to move to a new trading system. After climbing to a record of Rs 2,150, the stock ended at Rs 2,065, up 1.25 per cent over the previous session’s close. “The Technical Advisory Committee of the Securities & Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has recommended that MCX may go-live with the commodity derivative platform (CDP) and to intimate Sebi regarding the proposed date for go live,” MCX said in a stock exchange disclosure.
The shift to the new platform — which helps with critical functions such as trading, clearing and settlements — is expected to improve MCX’s profit margins. Earlier, the exchange had planned to go live with CDP on October 3. However, markets regulator Sebi put the move in abeyance following a complaint by the Chennai Financial Markets and Accountability.
