Twists and turns

China launched its first financial futures on the CFFEX in April 2010. During the stock market turmoil of 2015, restrictions were imposed on index futures trading, though these have largely been lifted in recent years.

Earlier this year, the regulators announced a plan to start re-opening the domestic treasury bond futures market to some banks and insurers on a pilot basis, for the first time since restrictions were imposed in 1995. ICBC, Bank of China, and Bank of Communications were the first three institutions approved to participate in the pilot.

Currently, foreign investors can only trade stock index futures in China through the QFII and RFQII programmes, but only for hedging losses; not for speculation. However, it has been reported that Chinese regulators have been mulling an overhaul of its futures market to allow global investors to also execute bearish trades.

“Although the industry has undergone many twists and turns, with the passage of time, financial futures as a market-oriented risk management tool has become more and more popular in China in recent years, and has fully withstood market tests,” the CFFEX said in a statement.
