| Currently, trading is not active on some of the C-Com markets due
to the adverse environments surrounding the entire Japanese commodity
futures marketplace. Although C-Com has made its best efforts to promote
such markets, the stagnant market conditions have lingered without
a symptom of any improvements. Under those circumstances C-Com has
regrettably come to a conclusion to suspend the trading of the futures
contracts in such markets under the provision of the Article 8-1 of
Market Administrative Bylaws until the market conditions change to
improve. The decision was made according to one of the proposals that
were made by the C-Com Study Committee that has explored the future
direction of C-Com for the past six months.
The TSR 20 (Rubber) and Aluminum are the contracts whose trading is to be suspended. No new contract months shall be listed in and after September 2009 for Rubber (TSR 20), and in and after March 2010 for Aluminum Markets respectively. The trading for the contract months currently listed shall be suspended in the following way; |
| Contract months | Trading to be suspended from |
| Those without open interest as at the end of February 2009 |
March 2, 2009 |
| April and May 2009 contract months |
At the end of the last trading day of each contract month, or on April 10, 2009, if the open interest for the May 2009 contract month is not outstanding as on April 9, 2009 |
