SGX Xinhua China A50 Index Futures.

Anyone has experience trade the SGX Xinhua China A50 futures? I'm interested to trade intraday, but I cannot find any intraday quote of it. Is it still tradable?

last time I looked at this about a year ago there was just no liquidity for this on the SGX. From memory, the volume for the china A50 was on the HKFE. I may have it slightly wrong if it was the china A50, but there was a chinese index trading on the HKFE with pretty decent liquidity and for some reason the A50 sounds about right.

 

Most of the products on the SGX just don't have enough volume, sadly.

Hi MidKnight,

 

Thanks for the quick reply. There is actually a A50 ETF trading in HKSE (Symbol:2823), But I noted its deviation from the index is pretty large (sometimes>10%). The more serious problem is the different trading hours to the China market. So it is impossible to use it as a intraday tracking tools.

So I am looking for other alternatives.

 

Cheers,

Alex.

There was also an A50 future I thought. Oh wait, maybe the thing I am thinking of wasn't an A50 (I said earlier that I wasn't entirely sure....). I just looked in my data cache and it seems the symbol I am thinking of was HHI-HKFE which I believe was the H-shares index. Sorry for the extra noise to your question :-\

 

With kind regards,

MK

I heard that HKEX is about to launch the China A50 index futures, but 'am not sure about the exact time. You can consult HKEX for further details
