China regulator approves launch of PTA, rapeseed meal, iron ore and more options

* China’s securities regulator said on Friday it had approved the launch of PTA, methanol, rapeseed meal, iron ore, and gold options

* PTA and methanol options contracts will be launched on December 16, while rapeseed meal options contracts will start trading on Jan. 16, China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC)

* Iron ore option contracts will be launched on Dec. 9

Also options on HS300 stock index and 300 ETF also about to launch

 

from which exchange?

can foreigners trade those financial instruments ?

 

iron ore in DCE
gold in SHFE
PTA in ZCE
HS300 index in CFFEX
300ETF in both SSE and SZSE

seems foreigners need wofe in China to trade derivatives, for now
and regulation could be more open in the future

for more follow up of regulation can check here https://www.fangquant.com/node/policy

 

and it's reported that the open up is going on https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-futures-market-overhaul-since-2015-clampdown

 

I can confirm that I saw those products popping up on my platform, tried to input an order but they are untradable..

 

you need to contact the brokers in China to enable the options trading
