In increasingly uncertain market conditions, the need for hedging\nmechanisms becomes ever more relevant.<\/p>\n
Jakarta (ANTARA) - PT Bursa Berjangka Jakarta (Jakarta Futures\nExchange\/JFX) is strengthening the futures trading ecosystem in response\nto rising global uncertainties that are triggering commodity price\nvolatility.<\/p>\n
As is known, in recent times, geopolitical tensions have driven\nfluctuations in prices of various strategic commodities, from energy to\nprecious metals. This situation reinforces the need for transparent\ntrading mechanisms and hedging instruments that can help market\nparticipants manage risks more measurably.<\/p>\n
JFX President Director, Yazid Kanca Surya, explained that market\nparticipants increasingly require instruments that not only provide\nprotection against risks but also ensure business sustainability.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn increasingly uncertain market conditions, the need for hedging\nmechanisms becomes ever more relevant. Futures trading serves as a\ntransparent, standardised instrument that supports the formation of\ncredible prices in the market,\u201d said Yazid at a media gathering in\nJakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
In response, JFX is promoting the development of more flexible and\naccessible contract products, including expanding participation from the\nretail segment.<\/p>\n
Additionally, JFX is enhancing connectivity with global markets and\nstrengthening the range of products that support hedging needs.<\/p>\n
On the innovation side, JFX is preparing micro and nano-sized\ncontracts for several commodities such as gold, silver, copper, and\nenergy. These products are designed to increase market inclusion by\nopening access for investors with smaller capital scales.<\/p>\n
JFX is also developing digital gold trading that combines the ease of\ndigital-based transactions with the certainty of underlying physical\ngold. This scheme is expected to bring a balance between accessibility\nand security for investors.<\/p>\n
In line with that, JFX continues to promote the strengthening of a\ntransparent, supervised trading ecosystem that provides better\nprotection for all market participants.<\/p>\n
In terms of performance, several flagship JFX products have recorded\nsignificant contributions to trading activity.<\/p>\n
In the physical commodities sector, JFX controls more than 95 percent\nof Indonesia\u2019s tin export market share, with transaction values reaching\napproximately 1.7 billion US dollars in 2025.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in derivatives trading, the olein contract (OLE01)\ncontributes 38.7 percent to the total volume of Exchange Traded\nDerivatives (ETD) transactions at JFX, equivalent to 615,028 lots. The\nLoco Gold contract dominates over-the-counter (OTC) transactions with a\nportion of 85.2 percent of the total volume.<\/p>\n
Besides commodities, JFX also offers global securities-based products\nthrough the PALN scheme, which covers trading in US stocks and\nexchange-traded funds (ETFs).<\/p>\n
This product is part of the diversification of instruments at JFX,\nwith transaction trends showing continuous growth in recent years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis development is directed towards increasing liquidity and\nstrengthening price formation,\u201d said Yazid.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jfx-strengthens-futures-trading-ecosystem-in-response-to-global-situation-1776243052", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
