KARACHI: Pakistan Mercantile Exchange (PMEX), the country’s only commodity futures exchange, listed cash settled futures contracts of corn, wheat, soybean, palladium, and Japan equity index ($1 and $5) and made them available for trading from November 20, 2018, a statement said on Saturday.
These six futures contracts, the PMEX statement said, were based on universally traded benchmarks, while trading and operational mechanism was similar to the already listed contracts of international commodities at the exchange.
