Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) plans to relaunch gold futures to establish the city as an international gold trading hub amid market volatility. The exchange's head, Gregory Yu, indicated that the proposal aims to meet investor demand for risk diversification due to geopolitical tensions. Previous attempts to launch gold futures in 2008 and 2017 failed due to low liquidity. HKEX will consult stakeholders to refine contract designs and improve delivery mechanisms, as gold prices fluctuate significantly amid global conflicts.
