Precious Metals Futures (Osaka Exchange)
Effective on April 13, 2026, Osaka Exchange (OSE) will list new cash-settled futures contracts for gold and platinum whose underlying assets are the prices of Gold Standard Futures and Platinum Standard Futures (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Pocket Gold 100 Futures” and “Pocket Platinum 100 Futures”).
Product Features
- Both the Pocket Gold 100 Futures and Pocket Platinum 100 Futures will have a single contract month per year, specifically a December contract that reaches maturity in December. Additionally, another December contract maturing in the following year will be available for trading from late October of each year, which means that the maximum length of the trading period of one contract month is one year and two months. (Accordingly, from late October to late December each year, there will be two December contracts (one maturing in the current year and another maturing in the next year), allowing for the rollover from the current year's December contract to the next year's December contract during this period.)
- Compared to Gold Standard Futures and Platinum Standard Futures, the trading unit of Pocket Gold 100 Futures and Pocket Platinum 100 Futures is small at 100 grams, enabling participation with relatively small amounts of capital.
- Pocket Gold 100 Futures and Pocket Platinum 100 Futures are cash-settled futures contracts.

Electricity Futures (Tokyo Commodity Exchange)
Tokyo Commodity Exchange, Inc. (TOCOM) electricity futures currently cover the Tokyo and Kansai areas, but in response to hedging demand for the Chubu area, TOCOM will add Chubu area electricity to the underliers for monthly and fiscal year contracts. Trading is scheduled to commence on April 13, 2026.
The contract specifications for Chubu area electricity futures are the same as those for existing areas. For monthly contracts, while we currently offer location-spread trading between Tokyo and Kansai, with the launch of Chubu area contracts, we will also introduce spread trading between Tokyo - Chubu and Kansai – Chubu.
