Marex Group plc (“Marex”; NASDAQ: MRX) has begun offering China Internationalised Futures Contracts, providing clients with direct connectivity to 24 Chinese futures and options products for electronic execution and clearing.
The contracts now available on the Marex platform represent products from three internationalised futures exchanges – the Shanghai International Energy Exchange (INE), the Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) and the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange (ZCE) – in agricultural commodities, energy, metals and freight. The launch follows the earlier receipt of approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) to become an Overseas Intermediary.
Marex is providing access to these contracts in response to growing demand from clients, including corporates and exporters, to manage long-term risks and price discovery for Chinese domestic commodities. Enabling clients to access China Internationalised Futures Contracts is aligned with Marex’s strategy to grow its capabilities and its geographic reach, so it can increase its relevance to clients.
This connectivity, which follows the opening of Marex’s new office in Hong Kong earlier in 2025, represents another milestone in Marex’s expansion in the Asia-Pacific.
Marex Asia Pacific Chief Executive Officer Arthur Fan said:
“We continue to look for new ways to connect our global clients to Asian markets, providing them with new options to manage their risk. This access is further evidence of our commitment to invest both in Asia and in our product offering, even during uncertain times in global markets.”
Trading on the INE, DCE and ZCE has been open to international market participants since 2018, using the China Internationalised Futures Contracts. Chinese commodities exchange-traded derivatives accounted for more than half of the global total of commodity contracts traded in the first five months of 2025, according to statistics from the Futures Industry Association.
