With the addition of these three Chinese exchanges, Sucden Financial’s clients can trade on many of the world’s leading commodities markets from a single account, providing enhanced arbitrage and risk management capabilities. Sucden Financial is also a leading Category 1 member of the London Metal Exchange and offers direct access to the CME’s base metals futures and options contracts.
