Wang Ying, deputy director of the Futures Supervision Department of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, said at the 19th International Grease and Oil Conference and Agricultural and Livestock Industry Conference on October 14 that by the end of September 2026, there were 3.148 million active customers in the market. Commodity futures trading volume has been among the highest in the world for many years, and market depth and carrying capacity continue to increase. Currently, 171 types of futures and options have been listed, covering major sectors of the national economy such as agricultural products, metals, energy, chemicals, shipping, and finance, providing rich, efficient and convenient risk management tools for domestic and foreign physical enterprises. Physical enterprises have become an important force participating in the futures market. From January to September 2026, the average daily transactions and positions of industrial customers in all markets increased by 3.25% and 5.81%, respectively. It was announced that 1,892 A-share non-financial listed companies participated in hedging, and the participation rate increased by 27.2 percentage points to 35.4% compared to ten years ago. Futures such as base difference trading and equity trading are now being widely developed in conjunction with business models. Up to now, the number of specific types of futures markets directly open to the outside world has reached 38, and qualified overseas investors can participate in trading 141 types. Domestic futures exchanges have successively launched pulp, soybean oil, and natural rubber futures settlement price authorization projects in Norway, Malaysia, and Japan, achieving a “Chinese price” market response.
