Shares of Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) rose 2.5% on Tuesday to hit a fresh all-time high of Rs 8,021.5 on the NSE , following a Bloomberg report suggesting the exchange may roll out electricity derivatives later this year.Earlier this month, MCX confirmed that it had received approval from SEBI to launch electricity derivatives. According to Bloomberg, people familiar with the matter indicated that the new contracts are likely to go live within the year.In a statement on June 9, MCX Managing Director and CEO Praveena Rai said the move would enable power distribution companies and large electricity consumers to better hedge price risks in an increasingly dynamic energy landscape.'These contracts will offer participants a reliable, transparent, and regulated platform to manage power price risks, which are becoming more dynamic due to renewables and market-based reforms,' Rai said.She also highlighted the growing importance of such instruments in light of India's expanding focus on renewable energy and open access power markets, calling electricity derivatives a "vital bridge between the physical and financial sectors."According to Trendlyne, the average target price for MCX is Rs 6,133, indicating a potential downside of around 23% from current levels. Of the eight analysts tracking the stock, the consensus rating remains 'Buy'.On the technical front, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 73, suggesting the stock is in overbought territory, which could lead to a short-term pullback.
