From today, DGCX brokers will be able to trade Euro/US Dollar, Yen/US Dollar and Sterling /US Dollar contracts with other contracts coming on line over time. Each of these currencies will have four forward months contracts maturing in March, June, September and December. The contract size for Euro/USD and Sterling/USD will be 50,000 while the contract size for Yen/USD will be 5,000,000.
DGCX continues to develop apace with the existing contracts achieving phenomenal growth.

These figures include a highest ever daily traded volume of 6062 contracts on 15th May.

The Exchange plans to introduce futures contracts on steel and marine fuel oil in the fourth quarter of 2006.
