Saudi Arabia advances in commodities and metals
The Saudi Capital Market Authority has announced its intention to expand trading tools in the market by introducing futures contracts and options linked to commodities and metals. The goal is to provide traders with new instruments to participate in price movements and to achieve effective risk management against raw material cost volatility. There will be no predefined list of specific commodities or metals; instead, applicants will submit their proposals for targeted commodities along with reasons for their choices, allowing greater flexibility in selecting products that meet actual demand and reflect economic activity. All proposed contracts will undergo review and regulatory approval by the Authority. Additionally, a secondary market for commodity and metal derivatives contracts will be licensed after the submission period, which started in July and continues through October. Potential products include futures and options contracts, enabling companies and traders to manage their expectations and hedging strategies more diversely. The initiative focuses on improving the infrastructure of the financial market and developing new tools to meet various investment needs.
