uTrade AlgosThe tender or exercise period in the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) is a critical phase that occurs prior to the expiration of a commodity futures or options contract. This period allows traders holding open positions to either tender (in the case of futures) or exercise (in the case of options) their contracts, effectively fulfilling or settling their obligations according to the terms stipulated in the contract.
Specifically, the tender period in futures contracts involves the seller’s intention to deliver the underlying commodity, while the exercise period in options contracts allows the holder to buy or sell the underlying commodity at a predetermined price. These periods serve as a mechanism for the physical delivery of commodities or the financial settlement of contracts, depending on the nature of the instrument. The exact duration and specifications of the tender or exercise period vary depending on the specific commodity and the contract’s terms. It is essential for market participants to consult the official contract specifications published by MCX to understand the precise timelines and procedures associated with each contract.
