The Tokyo Commodity Exchange, Inc. (TOCOM) and Nikkei Inc. announced today a name change of the Nikkei-TOCOM Commodity Index as of February 12, 2013. This change only applies to the Japanese language name. The two companies have been jointly calculating and publishing the index since 2009.
This coincides with TOCOM’s Japanese-language name, which is scheduled to be updated on February 12 with the launch of Agricultural Product and Sugar Market (pending regulatory approval). TOCOM’s corporate name and the names of the indexes in English will remain unchanged.
