CSRC deputy director of futures regulation Zhang Yue said on Oct. 15 at the 2026
Shanghai Derivatives Market Forum that Chinese regulators will refine
market-stability mechanisms and further improve the futures and options product
mix, including cultivating foundational strategic contracts. Regulators will
broaden room for industrial firms and long-term funds to use futures for risk
management, promote spot–futures linkage and on‑exchange/off‑exchange
coordination, and steadily widen opening of selected contracts. They will deepen
overseas authorization of settlement prices and cross‑border delivery
cooperation, strengthen full‑chain risk controls and cross‑agency supervision,
and intensify crackdowns on illegal activity to protect investors’ legal rights.
