Strategically located within China and backed by Hong Kong’s world-class infrastructure, HKMEx seeks to become the preferred platform where international and mainland market participants will come together to trade commodity contracts for investment, hedging and arbitrage opportunities.
As China’s commodity consumption continues to grow and its currency becomes more internationalized, there is a strong market appetite for risk management tools in the Chinese currency. HKMEx intends to develop a series of RMB futures contracts on precious and base metals to address this soaring demand by both international and mainland Chinese participants.
Longer term, HKMEx also aims to offer a full range of futures contracts on agricultural commodities, energy and financial indices.
