Bursa Malaysia’s total derivatives daily volume averaged an all time record high of 50,654 contracts in 2014, registering a 17% growth from 2013’s volume of 43,315 contracts.
2014 was an exceptional year for Bursa Malaysia’s Crude Palm Oil Futures (FCPO) contract where it broke a record average daily volume of 41,285 contracts, recording a 28% growth from 2013’s volume of 32,251 contracts.
The increased volatility in the crude oil and oilseed markets globally was the catalyst in the volume surge for FCPO, the first time hitting beyond the 10 Million contract mark for the year.
