Door opens for global companies in trading of futures

The China Securities Regulatory Commission released rules on Friday covering futures companies, encouraging overseas investors to participate in the Chinese market.

China will make institutional arrangements for overseas traders that are participating in particular futures products markets, according to the rules.

"For instance, we will loosen the limits on clients opening futures accounts and remove obstacles to bringing in overseas clients to the crude oil market," said Deng Ge, a spokesman for the CSRC.
