The standard, which is being issued in draft form for comment, covers binary options in the commodities markets.
Binary options, also known as barrier or digital options, pay out a fixed amount, or nothing, depending on whether the underlying price of a commodity hits a pre-agreed level at a specific point in time. This creates an inherent conflict between the bank or dealer selling the option and the client. The new standard outlines the rationale for use of binary options and also makes clear the guidelines that market participants should follow to ensure they manage the conflict of interest in an appropriate fashion.
It is being issued in the form of a transparency draft to provide an opportunity for public comment ahead of final ratification and issuance. It does this by defining standards of good practice in contentious or grey areas of the markets. Last month, the FMSB published a standard on reference price transactions in the fixed income rates markets. These transactions involve agreeing all aspects of a transaction except price which is set later based on a pre-agreed reference price and market.

The standard set out guidance for practitioners about what is acceptable conduct in the context of these types of transaction and create greater clarity about what good market practice looks like, and what types of practice should be avoided. They include international users of the markets such as corporates, asset owners and asset managers, market infrastructure providers such as exchanges, custodians, and investment banks.
The FMSB is seeking comment from interested parties on the binary options standard over the summer. Submissions should be sent to standards fmsb.
