China's five-year treasury bond futures opened higher on Tuesday, with the contract for settlement in June 2017 opening 0.045 percent higher at 99.385 yuan (about 14.5 U.S. dollars).

The contract for settlement in September 2017 opened 0.076 percent higher at 98.91 yuan. The contract for settlement in December 2017 opened at 98.4 yuan, 0.076 percent higher from the previous close.

The contracts are agreements to buy or sell treasury bonds at a predetermined price and set date. They allow investors to bet on and profit from the movements in the value of the bonds.

The treasury bond futures were launched at the Shanghai-based China Financial Futures Exchange and started trading on Sept. 6, 2013.
