Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. is in the early stage of creating a commodities trading connection with mainland China.
HKEx, owner of the London Metal Exchange, the world’s biggest metals bourse, aims to make international benchmark commodity futures available to traders in China while offering mainland contracts to overseas traders, Chief Executive Officer Charles Li said Wednesday. The country opened its stock market to foreign investors through the Shanghai-Hong Kong exchange link in November and authorities are planning a similar equity link between Hong Kong and Shenzhen later this year.
