Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) is trading higher by 3% at Rs 846 on reports that the Competition Commission of India (CCI) has cleared Kotak Mahindra Bank's proposed Rs 459 crore deal to acquire 15% stake in commodity bourse.

According to the CCI the proposed deal “is not likely to have an appreciable adverse effect on competition in India,” the PTI report suggests.
