China treasury bond futures open flat Tuesday

Xinhua, November 1, 2016 Adjust font size:

China's five-year treasury bond futures opened flat on Tuesday, with the contract for settlement in December 2016 opening flat at 101.7 yuan (about 15.04 U.S. dollars).

The contract for settlement in March 2017 opened almost flat at 101.3 yuan. The contract for settlement in June 2017 opened almost unchanged at 101 yuan.

The contracts are agreements to buy or sell treasury bonds at a predetermined price and set date. They allow investors to bet on and profit from the movements in the value of the bonds.

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