The commodities market is now so closely linked to the global economy that a small change in the former will trigger the butterfly effect on the latter. We can see a trend of continuous increase in the global influence of Mainland China’s commodities physical and derivative markets, and the increasing opening-up of the Mainland markets.

This book is the first bilingual title in the market that gives an integrated analysis of the commodities spot and futures market and the development of the global and Mainland commodities markets, and explores the multiple ways for advancing the opening-up of the Mainland commodities market. Experts who are experienced in these areas discuss in-depth on three key themes — the “global landscape of the commodities market”, “the Mainland and Hong Kong commodities markets” and “commodities spot and futures market connectivity”. This book depicts to market participants the big picture of the macro system and financial ecosystem of the entire commodities market, facilitating beneficial interactions between the commodities spot and futures markets to better serve the real economy.
