Vietnam's commodity derivatives market eyes expansion

The Vietnam Mercantile Exchange (MXV) will hold a training program titled "Market Analysis Methods and Trading Idea Development" for business members and brokerage members in the commodity derivatives trading sector.

Under the program, training sessions will take place on March 19 in Hanoi and March 21 in Ho Chi Minh City.

For the first time, the event will feature the participation of representatives from the Indonesian Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency, alongside three leading commodity exchanges in the ASEAN region: the Singapore Exchange (SGX), Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange, and the Asia Commodity Marketplace (ACM) of Indonesia. 

This training program holds particular significance for MXV and its members, as it coincides with Vietnam’s broader efforts to strengthen its comprehensive partnerships within the region. The initiative comes on the heels of Party General Secretary To Lam's recent visit to Indonesia, the ASEAN Secretariat, and Singapore.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Dung, Deputy General Director of MXV, said this year’s program aims to equip traders with essential tools to manage unexpected market fluctuations effectively.

"From risk management at both macro and micro levels, we hope that MXV members can identify and mitigate unfavorable fluctuations while optimizing profits," he said.
