美國商務部：與SandboxAQ達成5億美元芯片研發資助協議。

June 17 — Shanghai Futures Exchange and the London Metal Exchange signed a settlement-price authorization agreement for hot-rolled coil (HRC) futures at the Lujiazui Forum. The move furthers SFE’s cross-border cooperation and broader market-opening agenda, including international-specific futures and options, cross-border settlement-price authorizations, QFI access, trading-platform internationalization and exploration of cross-border delivery. SFE’s HRC contract is the world’s largest plate/coils futures product, averaging about 700k contracts traded daily and roughly 1.9m contracts in open interest, and serves increasingly as an import-price reference for Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, North Africa and South America.

PBOC deputy governor and SAFE director Zhu Hexin said at the Lujiazui Forum on June 17 that China’s actual use of foreign investment exceeded $100bn in 2025, with high-tech sectors accounting for roughly one-third. FDI into medical devices and aerospace grew about 42% and 23% respectively. At end-Q1 2026, foreign investors held roughly $600bn of onshore equities, including over $90bn in the information technology sector.
