China's five-year treasury bond futures opened mixed on Monday, with the contract for settlement in December 2015 opening flat at 98.7 yuan (about 15.5 U.S. dollars).

The contract for settlement in March 2016 opened up 0.1 yuan at 98.8. The contract for settlement in June 2016 had no trading at the opening.

The treasury bond futures were launched at the Shanghai-based China Financial Futures Exchange and started trading on Sept. 6, 2013. Endi
