The National Stock Exchange will introduce Gold 10 grams futures contracts in its commodity derivatives segment from March 16 after receiving approval from regulator Sebi. The exchange said the new contract will be available for trading in monthly series.

Risk management, clearing and settlement norms will be communicated separately by NSE Clearing. The Gold 10 grams futures contract will have a trading unit of 10 grams, with the symbol GOLD10G and description format GOLD10GYYMMM.

Contracts will be listed on a monthly basis, with expiry on the last calendar day of the contract month. If the last calendar day falls on a holiday, the preceding working day will be treated as the expiry date.

Trading will take place from Monday to Friday between 9:00 am and 11:30 pm or 11:55 pm, depending on the US daylight saving period. The tick size has been set at Re 1 per 10 grams, and the maximum order size will be 10 kg.

The price quote will be ex-Ahmedabad and inclusive of all taxes and levies relating to import duty and customs, but excluding GST and any additional GST-related surcharges.

On price movement safeguards, the base daily price limit has been fixed at 6%. If this limit is breached, after a 15-minute cooling-off period the limit may be relaxed up to 9%.
In case of significant movements in international markets, the exchange may further relax limits in steps of 3% beyond the maximum permitted limit, with appropriate notice to the market.Margins will be determined based on volatility category or SPAN, whichever is higher, along with an extreme loss margin of 1%. Additional or special margins may be imposed in case of heightened volatility.

Position limits have also been specified. For a member collectively for all clients, the maximum allowable open position will be 50 metric tonnes or 20% of the market-wide open position, whichever is higher, across all gold contracts combined. For individual clients, the cap will be 5 metric tonnes or 5% of the market-wide open position, whichever is higher.

The contract will be compulsory delivery-based. The delivery unit is 10 grams of 999 purity gold, serially numbered and supplied by LBMA-approved or other NSE-approved suppliers, accompanied by a quality certificate. The designated delivery centre will be clearing house facilities at Ahmedabad.

Delivery pay-in will be on an E+1 basis by 11:00 am, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and trading holidays. The staggered delivery period will comprise the last three working days, including the expiry day.

The final settlement price will be based on the Ahmedabad spot price for gold (10 grams) of 995 purity, converted to 999 purity, polled on the expiry day around 5:00 pm. In case of non-availability of the polled spot price due to sudden closure of the physical market, the exchange will determine the final settlement price in consultation with Sebi.

The introduction of a smaller 10-gram gold futures contract is expected to enhance participation by retail and smaller market participants in the commodity derivatives segment, while aligning contract size more closely with domestic bullion trading practices.

Celtico brings together 12 firms across South Wales that employ more than 1,400 people

A new collaboration giving voice to leading engineering and manufacturing firms in Wales has been established aimed at providing a platform for securing new workloads related to major renewable projects across the UK.

Celtico brings together 12 firms based South Wales. The founding partners employ more than 1,400 skilled people and generate over £250m in annual turnover, spanning capabilities including fabrication, machining, marine engineering, coating, assembly and advanced manufacturing.

Rather than operating as a single company, Celtico has been created as a collaboration, offering developers, contractors and major procuring bodies a single point of engagement backed by the combined scale, capability and experience of its members.

As major renewable and infrastructure projects move from planning into delivery, Celtico aims to ensure Wales is not only ready to participate but positioned as a centre of excellence for high-value engineering, manufacturing and marine capability.

Poltico’s founding partners include 3Ks Engineering Company, Afon Engineering, J.E.S. Group, King Site Services (South West), Ledwood Mechanical Engineering, Mainstay Marine Solutions, Mii Engineering, Pro-Steel Engineering, Rhyal Engineering, Site Heat Treatment Services, Techno Engineering (Jenkins & Davies) and Weldlec. Discussions are already under way with additional companies interested in joining the collaboration.

Celtico is supported by the Swansea Bay City Deal skills and talent Programme, funded by the UK and Welsh Government, and works in partnership with the Regional Learning and Skills Partnership to align industry demand with skills development and workforce growth. With offshore wind capacity set to expand significantly in the Celtic Sea – where developers have options to deliver three floating offshore wind farms with the capacity to power millions of homes – alongside growing opportunities in tidal range, grid infrastructure, hydrogen and carbon capture, developers are increasingly seeking supply chains that can deliver at scale while maximising local content and regional economic benefit.

Celtico said it will offer developers a simplification procurement process, reduce risk and increase certainty of delivery, while also supporting local hiring, skills development and UK-based manufacturing.

Andrew Beer, chairman of Celtico (who is also chair of the regional learning and skills partnership manufacturing cluster), said:“Celtico was created to address a long-standing challenge. Wales has world-class engineering companies, but too often they’ve been too small individually to access major contract packages. By coming together, we can offer the scale, capability and credibility required to compete for and deliver the UK’s most ambitious energy projects.

“This collaboration is about more than winning work. It’s about building a strong, resilient regional supply chain, keeping economic value in Wales, and ensuring local companies and people play a central role in the energy transition.”

Nick Revell, managing director, Ledwood Mechanical Engineering and member of Celtico, added:“Developers are looking for certainty, speed and capability, and that’s exactly what Celtico provides. Our collaborative model gives clients a single, trusted route into a highly skilled regional supply chain, without the complexity of managing multiple contractors.

“At the same time, we’re creating real opportunities for Welsh businesses and workers by aligning delivery with skills, training and long-term capacity building. This is about setting Wales up to succeed not just in offshore wind and tidal range, but across the wider low-carbon economy.”

Ioan Jenkins, executive adviser at Celtico, added:“This is such an exciting project to be a part of, with such potential to make a difference to this region. The world is changing fast, and this venture offers local companies the chance to play their part on delivering the UK’s next generation of renewable energy and low-carbon infrastructure projects.”

Members of Meta’s team faced a stern warning Wednesday after wearing Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses, which contain cameras, while entering a Los Angeles courtroom.

The trial focuses on whether Meta and YouTube intentionally designed social media platforms to encourage addictive usage among children.

Jacob Ward, a technology journalist and host of the Rip Current Podcast, told CBS News that Judge Carolyn Kuhl “upbraided the Meta team and said if you guys have recorded anything, you have to dispose of it or I will hold you in contempt,” calling the incident “an extraordinary misstep” by the company.

It is unclear whether the glasses were worn inside the courtroom or just during entry. Meta has not immediately responded to requests for comment. In Los Angeles County Superior Court, the use of cameras and recording devices is typically prohibited.

A spokesperson for the Superior Court of Los Angeles County said, “Judicial officers have the discretion to place limitations on video recording and photography in their courtroom,” citing local and state rules.

Ray-Ban Meta Glasses Raise Privacy Concerns

Judge Kuhl emphasized the seriousness of the issue and ordered anyone wearing the AI glasses to remove them, particularly to prevent any facial recognition of jurors. “This is very serious,” she said.

Ray-Ban Meta glasses, priced between $299 and $799, can capture photos and record video, raising concerns about privacy and courtroom protocol.

Zuckerberg’s presence in court coincided with testimony over Instagram’s age verification practices and the platforms’ impact on young users.

The lawsuit, filed by a plaintiff identified only by her initials “KGM,” alleges that exposure to social media at a young age caused addiction and harmed her mental health.

Zuckerberg defended Instagram, stating that the platform has never allowed children under 13, TheWrap reported.

He acknowledged, however, that some users may lie about their age to access the service.

“There’s a distinction about whether someone is allowed to do something and whether we’ve caught them for breaking the rule,” Zuckerberg said, according to the Los Angeles Times.

“I don’t see why this is so complicated. It’s been our clear policy that people under the age of 13 are not allowed.”
