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.
