"We are very excited to have the opportunity to share our expertise on trading options with China's first futures exchange.Options can be used to reduce or manage risk, and can be an important tool as China's markets grow and mature," said CBOE Chairman and CEO William J. Brodsky. "We look forward to deepening our longstanding relationship with the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, continuing to share information, and continuing work on developing new markets."
"We are delighted to sign the MOU with the Chicago Board Options Exchange. It offers both Exchanges the opportunity for further cooperation," said Xianli Wang, the President and CEO of the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange. "The ZCE launched its options research program in the 1990s and has been receiving generous help from the CBOE for many years. We would like to take this opportunity to convey our appreciation to CBOE, and we believe that the MOU will provide the ZCE with further assistance in listing our own options products. By signing this MOU we are also committed to helping the CBOE know the Chinese market better."
The MOU lays the foundation for the exchange of educational resources and information with respect to pursuing cooperation and potential joint business initiatives between the two exchanges with regard to options and other derivatives products.
