If there are no (or very thin) margins to post then I see incentive for a huge influx of speculation which can move a market by substantially increasing demand. I have no idea as to what these requirements actually are - but unfortunately the reuters type press only quote peoples views (most of which come across as slightly dogmatic), without any independent analysis or useful information, besides a short history of sugar production and prices.Duke Nukemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649274.post-24215033382069863872009-05-28T22:39:50.329+05:302009-05-28T22:39:50.329+05:30Is this step related to drubbing the NCP has got i...Is this step related to drubbing the NCP has got in western Maharashtra? and the impending elections in MH just 5 months ahead.Cannot futures arrest the rise of sugar prices as against bolstering them?<br />This did not get the attention it deserves due to the ongoing excitement over cabinet formation. Thanks to Ajay,this might generate some additional kilobytes and grams of newsprint.<br />At least one would expect the market participants and market makers to not be a mute spectator to this nonsense. We dont even have the bogey of leftists now. <br /><br />Sharad Pawar should let his views(with facts) be known on:<br />Q.What is the function of Futures market and should they be allowed at all?<br />Q.What is the trigger point(Price rise/volume) when Futures market will wean his attention away from IPL and he will apply his breaks?<br />Q.What is his ministry doing to shift the Sugar production from water deficit Maharashtra to Water rich Bihar?<br />Q.Should we expect Sugar decontrol post elections in Maharashtra?<br />Q.How exactly does the Sugar price rise affects the poor?<br />The answer to these questions may lead to a more efficient futures market in commodities?<br />This might be a fit case for RTI to understand the scholarly process followed in arriving at this enlightened decision.bagduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05355737655431099045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649274.post-32865895777959400822009-05-28T17:52:50.604+05:302009-05-28T17:52:50.604+05:30@vivek and @drajay and everybody else,
Does ban on...@vivek and @drajay and everybody else,<br />Does ban on short selling stop the stock prices from falling?<br /><br />On a similar vein, do banning futures stop the prices from rising?[I think it is even more detrimental because transparency just took a beating]<br /><br />On a tangent, do placing a circuit levels help?What about one sided circuit levels[reasoning that panic is more infectious than greed]<br /><br />Just some questions. <br /><br />Soham<br /><br />P.S: My opinions 1.

Now every time there is a rise in prices, the futures market will be blamed. There is already pressure from people like Laloo to ban futures if the price increases.

One more minister than the UPA-1, 15 days gone by just twiddling the thumbs and then when they start working they ban sugar futures.So much for "reforms on fast track" talk<br /><br />Have they got any amount of grey matter left in them?<br /><br />Disclaimer: As is evident, I am not a fan of this party.
