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.
