China Futures....?

Is there such a thing?If yes, where can I trade it? If not, why hasn't anyone invented futures on the China Stock Market-Shanghai?

There is money to be made there for a broker and exchange isn't there?

the Nikkei has futs, so does the Hang Seng.Why not Shanghai?

 

You can't buy or sell anything directly

Chinese Market is inaccessible to foreign investors

Try this instrument

The closest vehicle right now is futures on the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, which trade on the HKFE (which IB supports).

The problem is imo swing trading this thing is almost as sane as suicide.

China has been planning to launch the shanghai index futs for a while now, but the recent spike in the index has got the official scared that the launch will cause a collapse for which they have to bare the blame.

The trading will be in RMB and not accessible to foreigners anyway.

 

There's something on the NYSE with the ticker symbol of "CHN". Check it out.

 

Anyone know what happened to the SGX Xinhua China A50 Index futures? Just checked, the OI for Jun is only about 200+ lots ?????

 

Do futures make any sense in that market? If chinese shares can't be shorted, how will the arbs play? What value do un-arb'd futures have?

Sept contract showing no bid/ask whatsoever, and this is during China market hours! How dead is this thing? The HKFE already offers Xinhua China 25 Index futures, which are also dead..
