China's five-year treasury bond futures opened mixed on Thursday, with the contract for settlement in December down 0.05 percent to open at 99.49 yuan (about 15.7 U.S. dollars).

The contract for settlement in March 2016 opened almost flat at 99.32 yuan. The contract for settlement in June 2016 gained 0.05 percent to open at 99.415 yuan.

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