The Guangzhou Futures Exchange (GFEX) said on Tuesday that it plans to launch China’s first platinum and palladium futures contracts to offer a domestic price hedging mechanism.

The GFEX will be the first exchange to allow delivery against its contracts of platinum and palladium in a form used by the main consumers, automakers and other industrial sectors. Its contracts may also support platinum investment demand in the world’s second-largest economy.
