The contract size is 5 metric tons, the price is quoted in Chinese Yuan, and the trading hours are 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Often considered a low risk commodity by traders because of its versatile applications and sometimes used as collateral in China’s shadow banking industry copper demand in China remains steady. #china #futurestrading #futures #SHFE #shanghai #copper #LME #cmegroup Ceres Ltd #alpha
