Commodity traders
Gerbrunn- We often get requests, so you can trade many commodities in the U.S. only and not in Germany, the experts of "commodity trader".
This would indeed be a very interesting possibility, especially since in this way the exchange rate fluctuations between the euro and U.S. dollar could be avoided and so few percentage points could achieve more in terms of performance.
There was indeed a German derivatives exchange, which now call Risk Management Exchange (RMX) and had emerged from the former Commodity Exchange Hannover. Meanwhile, the stock exchange offer to trade in pigs, pigs, wheat, potatoes and barley. These commodities could be traded on futures as well as by fund. Whenever traders were talking about a futures trading, it would mean a delivery that will only take place in the future, while in contrast, provides for an immediate delivery of the cash market.
Although interest has increased in recent years at the Risk Management and would have by now also well-known companies involved in the corporation, the trade volume is still very thin. Well-informed circles it was known, however, that there would be in the coming years, a lot of innovations that promote trade and related activities would further boost.
Unfortunately, the deadline was due to a ban on trade in the Second World War and until a very late removal of this restriction for futures trading is no tradition in Germany. Therefore it is very difficult for the initiators of establishing a stock exchange trading platform in the commodities sector. It is however confident that this could be achieved through innovations.
Since the beginning of the year 2007, the RMX have a broader and diversified its trading portfolio considerably stronger. Besides the above mentioned raw materials could become known as "Creparts" are traded on the exchange. Understand the trade including dealers with individual loans and loan shares, which could then be sold on the open market. In the coming months a number of banks should be connected to the system.
The demand from the experts have "commodity trader" in some issuers indicated that they plan for the time being no certificates on the range of raw materials, the RMX. The market is still too small, so larger volumes could not be traded. Especially the trade with Potatoes investors a nice return would have brought in the last year, when the price had risen from 9 to over € 32 €. For now, this market remains, however, the traders of futures contracts are reserved and you had to wait a while until the market for certificates investors will open.
