Jewellery cos divided over ban on futures trade

With the government extending its ban on forward trading in more agricultural commodities, a section of jewellery traders has sought a similar curb on gold and silver futures as well to curtail the volatility in rates. The government suspended futures trading in soya oil, potato, rubber, chana (gram) on Wednesday, while rice, wheat, urad and tur were banned early last year. Sudden rise and fall in prices of gold and silver, many times in a day, has created instability.
