Pocket Platinum 100 Futures (scheduled for listing on April 13, 2026)
Overview
Effective on April 13, 2026, Osaka Exchange (OSE) will list new cash-settled futures contracts for platinum whose underlying asset is the price of Platinum Standard Futures (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Pocket Platinum 100 Futures”). The 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.)
Timetable for listing: Contract months and initial trading day for the Pocket Platinum 100 Futures
Please note that trading of existing Cash-settled Rolling-Spot Futures will be suspended with the last trading day set for December 22, 2026.
Characteristics
Pocket Platinum 100 Futures
The contract unit for Platinum Standard Futures is 500 g, whereas this Pocket Platinum 100 Futures contract unit is 100 g, enabling investors to trade with relatively smaller amounts of cash. Additionally, because the Pocket Platinum 100 Futures is a cash-settled futures contract, if investors hold a position on the last trading day without settling in cash by that time, they can settle in cash based on the difference between the final settlement price and the contract price. Investors do not need to procure or prepare the underlying asset or the total amount of money, as required in settlement by physical delivery and payment.
