Migration of Positions
The TGE will suspend its markets following the day session (09:00-15:30) on February 8, 2013 and on February 12, 2013, TOCOM will open trading on soybeans, azuki (red beans), corn and raw sugar futures. Positions (excluding unsettled contracts involving delivery) that exist on the date of suspension of the TGE’s commodities markets shall be treated as positions on the commodities market being opened on the date the relevant commodities market (Tokyo Commodity Exchange and Kansai Commodities Exchange*) is opened. It is not necessary, therefore, to liquidate positions prior to the market consolidation as all open positions that remain one business day prior to the date of migration will continue to be tradable at the exchanges after the products are migrated.
