Although derivatives was initially conceived for the commodity market, in recent years there had been a tremendous development in financial derivatives market both in terms of trade volume and in variety of instruments used. The paper has been undertaken with the purpose to analyse the affect of international price movement of commodity derivative market in Indian commodity derivative market. The price movement in international commodity derivative exchanges is closely correlated to prices in Indian commodity derivative exchanges. Therefore the functioning as well as the profitability in Indian exchanges is effected by the current performance of the international derivative market.
