Marex Expands Asia-Pacific Presence with Launch of China Internationalised Futures Contracts

Subscribe to our newsletter

Marex Group plc has begun offering clients direct access to China Internationalised Futures Contracts, enabling electronic execution and clearing across 24 futures and options products. The offering covers contracts from the Shanghai International Energy Exchange, Dalian Commodity Exchange and Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, spanning agricultural commodities, energy, metals and freight. This follows Marex’s approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission to operate as an Overseas Intermediary.

The new connectivity is designed to support growing demand from corporates and exporters seeking to manage long-term risk exposure and improve price discovery in Chinese domestic commodities. It also aligns with Marex’s strategy to broaden its services and geographic footprint, building on the recent opening of its Hong Kong office. Chinese commodity derivatives have been accessible to international participants since 2018, with volumes representing over half of global commodity contracts traded in early 2025, according to the Futures Industry Association.
