"The Hong Kong Futures Exchange (HKFE) is a major derivatives exchange in Hong Kong, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX).
Overview and History
Established: 1976 (originally as the Hong Kong Commodity Exchange; renamed HKFE in 1985).
Merger: In 2000, it became part of HKEX alongside the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK) and Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company
It offers futures and options on equity indices, individual stocks, interest rates, and other assets. It is a key venue for hedging and speculation, particularly tied to Hong Kong and Chinese markets.
HKFE faced a notable crisis in the 1987 global stock crash but recovered and has since grown into a leading Asia-Pacific derivatives market.
