Abstract: Since its inception and evolution, commodity derivatives markets have faced intermittent hurdles, leading to ban on a number of commodities off and on. Even after recommendations of expert committees and modifications in trading methods and full-fledged allowance of futures trading in 2003, jute futures trading was banned soon after the allowance. However it was resumed after gap of a year. Thereafter again pleas of its ban are pronounced owing to the rise in prices of jute. This paper studies the impact of the previous ban to understand whether another ban can actually cool down the jute prices. The paper does so by investigating whether the spot prices and volatility of the spot price increases when the derivative traders are functional in the markets.
Keywords: futures trading, trading methods, derivative traders, functional, markets.
