China's five-year treasury bond futures opened higher on Tuesday, with the contract for settlement in March 2016 opening flat at 100.8 yuan (about 15.57 U.S. dollars).

The contract for settlement in June 2016 opened 0.07 percent higher at 100.73 yuan. The contract for settlement in September 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
