BEIJING, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) -- China's five-year treasury bond futures opened higher on Tuesday, with the contract for settlement in December 2018 having no trading at opening.

The contract for settlement in March 2019 opened 0.07 percent higher at 98.90 yuan (about 14.35 U.S. dollars). The contract for settlement in June 2019 opened at 98.99 yuan, 0.04 percent higher from the previous close.

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