Futures trading ban won't curb inflation

Commodity market regulator Forward Market Commission on Thursday raised doubt over government's decision on Wednesday to ban futures trading in four agricultural commodities to control inflation. Its chairman BC Khatua said it is quite unfortunate that government banned four items despite there is no firm evidence that inflation is linked to futures trading. Khatua, however, assured investors that he would make efforts to bring back all eight banned commodities on the exchange platform.
