Coming soon: Chinese Plastics & Industrial Futures

Background

China's Dalian and Zhengzhou Commodity Exchanges (DCE & ZCE) recently announced their intention to further open up their plastics contract range to international market participants. As China's industry grows and domestic companies increasingly go abroad, opening up its domestic pricing centres to foreign companies is a key step towards integrating the domestic and overseas markets and provide a transparent venue for price discovery.
