Summary
DCE announced daily opening-volume limits for live hog futures, effective from trading on 29 October 2026. A non-futures-company member or client may open no more than 500 lots per day in LH2701 and no more than 1,000 lots per day in each other live hog contract, counting buy and sell opening positions together per contract. Hedging and market-making opening volumes are not restricted, and accounts under actual control are managed as one account.
- Timing
- From trading on 29 October 2026.
- Applies to
- Non-futures-company members and clients trading DCE live hog futures. The 500-lot limit applies to LH2701 and the 1,000-lot limit applies to each other live hog contract. Hedging and market-making opening volumes are exempt.
- Not covered
- These are daily opening-volume limits, not position limits. The notice does not state the previous limits or give a reason for the change. DCE says it may further adjust the limits according to market conditions, so this notice may not reflect current rules.
The official Chinese text prevails.
