Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether trading in MCX commodities, including futures and options, is considered speculative or non-speculative. The nature of the transaction, particularly intraday trading or settlement before the contract period ends, is crucial. Ultimately, the contract note dictates whether a transaction is classified as speculative, especially for spot trading settled within the same day.

2. In MCX commodity we select contract as either Future or options, can we say it is Futures and options?

3. Trading in NSE, futures is F & O?

4. In MCX commodity also Futures and in NSE also future does both transaction belongs to Future and options?

10 July 2023 Totally depends upon the contract note, if similar to intraday i.e. settled at the end of day, it will be treated as speculative.
