TREE NEWS reports: China’s futures market recorded a 26.32% year-on-year rise in cumulative trading volume and a 32.44% increase in cumulative turnover in the first 10 months of 2026, the China Futures Association said in its October 2026 briefing. October volume alone jumped 50.08% year on year, while October turnover rose 10.71%.
China futures market turnover up 32.44% in first 10 months of 2026
The gap between October's volume surge and its far smaller turnover gain points to a shift toward smaller-notional or more retail-heavy contracts, even as the year-to-date picture shows turnover outpacing volume. That combination matters for exchanges and brokers whose revenue tracks notional value more than contract counts, and it hints at changing participation rather than uniform growth. Whether October's volume spike is a one-off or the start of a sustained mix shift is the open question.
