The Central Japan Commodity Exchange (C-Com) gave a lecture on listing oil futures contracts in Japan on October 25 at the Symposium held by Korea Commodity Futures Forum in Seoul. This Symposium was designed for those who are involved in the research and business of commodity futures such as university professors and Futures Commission Merchants in Korea in order to promote the development of commodities futures trading in the country. It is normally held once a year by inviting prominent lecturers from abroad.
The Symposium this time focused on the two topics; 1) details of pork contracts listed on US market and 2) listing of oil futures in Japan from the experiences of C-Com. Pork belly is to be listed on KRX in November this year, and gasoline is seriously studied as one of the strongest candidates for next product to be listed in Korea.
