TOKYO EXCHANGE ALLOWS MORE GOLD AND RUBBER BROKERS
The Tokyo Commodity Exchange for Industry
(TOCOM) said it will allow five more members to become precious
metal brokers, taking the total to 54, and four more members to
broke rubber, for a total of 39.
    An exchange official told Reuters the Ministry of
International Trade and Industry is expected to approve the the
new brokers by mid-June.
    The move has been under study since early May in response
to requests by non-broker members of the exchange.
