TOCOM publishes the "Top 10 Volume by Member" report, which contains information on the members holding 10 largest trade volumes, with the name of each member and the number of trade volume (the total of buy and sell transactions) for each commodity.
When there are 10 or less members trading certain commodity, all the names and trade volume of participating members in that commodity are to be disclosed to avoid any possibility to make others to speculate such members' and their customers' positions and trading patterns. As such, TOCOM will not publish the report regarding the following commodities from February 1, 2012.
Commodity:
Gas Oil, Chukyo Gasoline, Chukyo Kerosene, Nikkei-TOCOM Commodity Index (Contract Day Transaction and Contract Month Transaction), and Gold Options (Call and Put).
Period:
from February 1, 2012 to July 31, 2012
Changes to the Top 10 Volume by Member report will be made two times a year, in February and in August. (TOCOM will make an announcement in July 2012 about the changes to be made on August 2012.)
