Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) is considering relaunching gold futures trading, according to its head of markets Yu Xueqin. He said the exchange will consult market participants to optimize contract design and improve mechanisms. Yu noted that geopolitical factors are prompting investors to diversify gold trading and reserves, making stronger integration with Hong Kong’s physical gold ecosystem necessary. HKEX said it will continue studying the initiative to better meet investor demand and support growth in new futures products.
