China's five-year treasury bond futures opened lower on Wednesday, with the contract for settlement in September 2018 opening 0.05 percent lower at 98.01 yuan (about US$14.8 U.S. dollars).

The contracts for settlement in December 2018 and March 2019 both had no trading at opening.

The contracts are agreements to buy or sell treasury bonds at a predetermined price on a 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.
