Glencore and Trafigura are among the international companies that have commenced trading iron ore on the Dalian Commodity Exchange since it was opened to foreign companies in May. The exchange’s CEO Wang Fenghai would like BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Fortescue Metals Group to trade on the exchange, adding that an unnamed Australian company already does so. The Dalian exchange launched iron ore trading contracts five years ago, and it now accounts for 96 cent of global iron ore futures trading.
