 China's government bond futures re-launched today with stronger demand than expected 

China's government bond futures saw stronger than expected interest from investors when they re-launched today, after an 18-year hiatus from the market.

China's State Council had approved the trading of government bond futures and given permission to the China Financial Futures Exchange to allow trading to begin today, according to the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

This is the second product listed on the China Financial Futures Exchange and to have a better control on risk, in the beginning the margin requirements will be slightly higher than normal, it will temporarily be set at 3% the exchange has stated.

Today there seemed to be a great deal of retail investor participation with a much stronger demand than what was expected.

An unidentified official with the region’s geology and mineral exploration bureau stated that nickel ore, with reserves of at least 1.28 million tons was discovered in Ruoqiang County, which is located in Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

We went on to state that Nickel and other reserves may exceed 2 million tons.

The Chinese futures market opens up to foreign traders !

More foreigners reportedly might get to trade Chinese futures 

JPMorgan Chase reportedly is among foreign entities that could gain permission to trade domestic stock-index futures in China. In January, several banks, including Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley, received authority to trade domestic stock-index futures in China .  I believe this will attract even move participants in the near future as the liquidity improves and the market opens up to more foreign firms.

This is a very exciting move, the folks in Chicago should be packing their bags for China – if you want to grow; you need to be where the growth is.
