Osaka Exchange (OSE) will list Shanghai Natural Rubber Futures, which are cash-settled futures whose underlier is the price of Natural Rubber Futures listed on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) on May 26, 2025.
SHFE and OSE held a signing ceremony for License Agreement regarding the Shanghai Natural Rubber Futures Delivery Settlement Prices between SHFE and OSE in Shanghai.
OSE believes by introducing this product, OSE can provide hedging tools to manage price fluctuation risks with Japanese and overseas corporations holding natural rubber inventories in the People’s Republic of China as well as new arbitrage trading ecosystems between Japanese and Chinese rubber futures markets.
Lu Dongsheng, CEO of SHFE, commented:
“The year 2024 marked the 50 years anniversary of official friendship between the city of Shanghai and the city of Osaka, a friendship that continues to thrive and also long exists between Shanghai Futures Exchange and Osaka Exchange.
Today’s licensing agreement allows SHFE and OSE to leverage their market and industry positions to deliver Chinese prices to producers and consumers in Japan and beyond. This provides companies around the globe with additional price information and risk management tools.
It also promises to further strengthen the ties between Shanghai and Osaka and between SHFE and OSE”.
