Emirates NBD Securities launches trading in Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (DGCX)
Emirates NBD Securities is delighted to inform that we have started operations on DGCX listed commodity and currency futures effective 24th March 2010. The Exchange offers futures trading on Gold, Silver, Crude Oil and major currencies like GBP, EUR, JPY and INR. This would broad base our product offering and enable customers to have an additional trading platform, removing the total dependency on local Equity markets. The benefits of this initiative are:
  • Low Investment Requirement for futures trading is the main attraction. A customer can start trading for an amount as low as USD 5,000.
  • The products offered have global pricing and are quoted all over the world unlike the Equities Market where the trading is localized.
  • The pricing of the products is in line with the prices quoted on global markets.
  • The exposure is for a limited period and the contracts have maximum validity between 2 to 4 months by which time the contracts have to be closed.
  • Our commission rates are most competitive and priced at USD 7.50 per contract unlike standard pricing as applicable to local Equities.
  • The trading is insulated from local sentiments and movements in pricing offer entry and exit opportunities on a daily basis.
  • The commodity and currency markets are matured markets, which gives the investor to either go “Long” or “Short” depending on the investor view hence trading opportunity is available for both “Bulls” and “Bears”. This feature is not available in local markets.
  • The contract margins are pre-funded by the investors, and an additional cushion of 100 percent obtained from investors, which takes care of Mark to Market process on daily basis and chances of loss on us are minimal.
