The first of its kind innovative deliverable 1 kg silver contract with New Delhi as the base delivery centre has been receiving tremendous response from market participants, especially small investors.
Mr. Ma Xuejun, MD & CEO, SKOFX said: “We are proud of the fact that SKOFX is the world’s first exchange to launch a kilo-bar deliverable contract. The contract offers market participants a choice of hassle-free delivery as well as maintaining it in a dematerialized form. The open interest witnessed by Silver 1000 contract demonstrates the commitment and conviction of the market participants in it.”
Mr. Gu Yoan, Director, SL Silver provider of 999 purity silver bullion said: “We are honored that our product quality consistency has been acknowledged by SKOFX. Our one-kilo 999 purity silver bullion bar and an 8g 9999 purity minted gold coin are notified as good delivery by the Exchange. This is the first instance where products manufactured by a domestic refinery cum-mint are listed as deliverable on the exchange. The day is not far when, with the active support of SKOFX, we will not only launch more products but also achieve Good Delivery status, which will firmly place SKOFX on the international bullion refining platform.”
