China's five-year treasury bond futures opened higher on Friday, with the contract for settlement in December up 0.06 percent at 99.68 yuan (about 15.65 U.S. dollars).

The contract for settlement in March 2016 opened 0.19 percent higher at 99.78 yuan. The contract for settlement in June 2016 opened 0.14 percent higher at 99.8 yuan.

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