Commodities exchanges normally monitor the transactions undertaken in the exchange. They are different from OTC markets in the following respects:
Credit risk (or country party risk) : In OTC, this risk is borne by the buyer or the seller; in the case of exchanges it is taken up by the exchange house
Margin requirements: For any transaction undertaken in an exchange, there is a need for an initial margin based on the value of the contract. And this margin is updated or marked to market on the basis of the changes in the underlying value of the contract due to fluctuations in price and this will be paid or received by the exchange. In effect, the exchange will get interest free funds from the players - the buyer and seller and this interest income sustains the operations of the exchange
Amount/Rate/Delivery: In OTC, they are all tailor made to suit the convenience of the players; however in the exchange markets, they are all standardised
Thus, if one were to look into, the interest earned on margin collected on the deals put through in the exchange mainly enables the exchange to meet their expenses and also earn profit. Hence the more the popular the exchange is, the more the number of deals put through the exchange is, the more exchange would make it!
