1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Platinum: Volatile; Palladium: Volatile [6] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The release of the solicitation draft for platinum and palladium futures contracts by the Guangzhou Futures Exchange indicates the approaching listing of these futures, which fills the gap in risk management tools for new energy metals in China [10]. - The platinum and palladium futures contracts have unique features such as relatively high contract values and entry thresholds, special contract month arrangements, and trading time settings that may affect price continuity and arbitrage efficiency. The innovative design of the delivery system also has implications for the participation of industrial enterprises [4][41]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Event Overview - On July 31, 2025, the Guangzhou Futures Exchange released the solicitation drafts for platinum and palladium futures contracts and related option and business rule documents, aiming to promote green - low - carbon development [10]. 3.2 Platinum and Palladium Industry Chain Overview - Platinum and palladium belong to the platinum - group metals, with stable physical and chemical properties. Their industry chain consists of upstream mining, mid - stream processing, and downstream applications. The global resource endowment is extremely uneven, with South Africa and Russia being major resource - rich regions. China's proven reserves are less than 1% of the global total. The mid - stream processing includes primary and recycling methods, and the downstream demand is mainly concentrated in the automotive exhaust catalyst field (37% for platinum and 82% for palladium), followed by jewelry, industrial, and investment demands [11]. 3.3 Key Parameter Interpretation of Platinum and Palladium Futures Contracts - **Contract Basics**: The trading codes for platinum and palladium futures are PT and PD respectively, with a trading unit of 1000 grams per lot, a minimum price change of 0.05 yuan per gram, a daily price limit of ±4% (±6% in the delivery month), and a minimum trading margin of 5%. The contract months follow an even - month continuous double - month pattern (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12), and the trading time is from 9:00 - 11:30 am and 13:30 - 15:00 pm, with no night trading for now [1][15][16]. - **Margin**: Based on the current price, the minimum margin for one lot of platinum/palladium futures is about 1.5 - 1.6 million yuan. The expected combined margin rate of the exchange and futures companies is about 15%, resulting in a trading margin of about 4.75 million yuan for one lot of platinum futures and 4.5 million yuan for one lot of palladium futures. The trading margin adopts a three - stage ladder - type management system [22]. - **Position Limit System**: Platinum and palladium futures use a three - stage dynamic position limit system. In normal months, different position limits are set according to the unilateral position of the contract. As the delivery month approaches, the position limits are gradually reduced, and individual customers are not allowed to hold positions in the delivery month [24]. - **Delivery Matters**: The futures adopt physical delivery with a delivery unit of 1000g (net weight). The benchmark delivery items are platinum/palladium ingots, sponge platinum/palladium, and platinum/palladium powder with a main component content of not less than 99.95%. There is a single - quality standard with no alternative delivery items and no clear regional premium or discount. The delivery system combines warehouse and factory warehouse delivery, and only domestic platinum and palladium ingots can be registered as warehouse standard warehouse receipts, while powder - form metals and imported products can only be registered as factory warehouse receipts. The warehouse receipts are valid for 12 months and are uniformly cancelled after the last trading day of August each year [26][28][30]. - **Delivery Area Speculation**: Considering factors such as industry agglomeration, logistics convenience, and import dependence, potential delivery areas include industrial - intensive regions like Yunnan, Xinjiang, Gansu, and Sichuan, as well as Shanghai, Tianjin, and Guangdong [3][31]. 3.4 Platinum and Palladium Option Contracts - The Guangzhou Futures Exchange also launched platinum and palladium option contracts. The options use the American exercise method, with a trading unit of one lot of platinum/palladium futures contracts, a minimum price change of 0.05 yuan per gram, and a price limit consistent with the underlying futures contracts. The contract months are the same as those of the underlying futures contracts, and the exercise price range is set to cover the price range within 1.5 times the daily price limit of the previous trading day's settlement price of the underlying futures contract. A segmented exercise price interval design is adopted [38]. 3.5 Characteristics Interpretation of Platinum and Palladium Futures Contracts - **Contract Value and Threshold**: The high contract value of platinum and palladium futures creates an entry barrier for investors. Insufficient liquidity at the initial listing stage may affect price continuity [4][41]. - **Contract Months and Liquidity Distribution**: The lack of continuous - month contracts may lead to a relatively steep B/C structure in the forward curve, and enterprises may face higher basis risks [4][41]. - **Trading Time and Linkage with Overseas Markets**: The absence of night trading in domestic platinum and palladium futures, compared with the 23 - hour continuous trading of Nymex platinum and palladium futures, may affect price continuity, arbitrage efficiency, and create time - difference arbitrage opportunities [4][41]. - **Innovation and Limitations of Delivery Rules**: The inclusion of sponge - form metals in the delivery system is innovative, but the restriction on registering warehouse standard warehouse receipts only for domestic ingots reflects the policy orientation of supporting domestic smelting industries and ensuring supply - chain security [42].

Group 2: Market Context and Demand - Platinum and palladium are crucial raw materials in the new energy sector, particularly in fiberglass and hydrogen energy applications, and are considered scarce resources globally [6]. - The demand for hedging in the industry has become urgent due to significant fluctuations in the spot prices of platinum and palladium in recent years [6]. - GFE has previously launched futures for industrial silicon, polysilicon, and lithium carbonate, indicating a focus on supporting green and low-carbon development [7][10]. Group 3: Delivery and Trading Rules - The delivery method for platinum and palladium futures will follow established practices in the futures market, including physical delivery and various delivery options [13]. - The quality standards for delivery will be based on national and international standards, with specific indicators for purity and impurity levels [13]. - The holding limits for positions will vary based on the trading volume, with specific limits set for both platinum and palladium contracts [14].
