集团计划于2027年第一季度初推出钨期货，为全球价格飙升的关键矿物创建衍生品市场。
Group plans to launch tungsten futures early in the first quarter of 2027, creating a derivatives market for the critical mineral as global prices surge.
月度合约将以Fastmarkets对含WO3最低88.5%的偏钨酸铵评估为基准进行现金结算，基准地为鹿特丹和巴尔的摩CIF，免税，CME周一在声明中表示。
The monthly contracts will be cash-settled against Fastmarkets’ assessment for ammonium paratungstate with a minimum 88.5% WO3 content, CIF Rotterdam and Baltimore, duty-free, CME said Monday in a statement.
这些合约将为生产者、消费者和交易者提供在全球钨市场进行对冲的方式，CME称该市场按当前现货价格计算价值超过200亿美元。钨的成本比两年前高出八倍多，彼时中国尚未实施出口管制、尚未收紧对日本的运输、尚未加大从海外采购废料的力度。由于钨在国防、航空航天和工业应用中的用途，美国、欧盟、日本和印度等国家将其视为关键矿物。
The contracts would give producers, consumers and traders a way to hedge in a global tungsten market that CME says is worth more than $20 billion at current spot prices. Tungsten costs more than eight times what it did two years ago, before China imposed export controls, tightened shipments to Japan and stepped up purchases of scrap from overseas. Tungsten is considered critical by the US, the European Union, Japan and India, among other nations, because of its use in defense, aerospace and industrial applications.
每份合约将代表88.5公吨单位，并将面向当前年份及随后两个日历年上市。
Each contract will represent 88.5 metric ton units and will be listed for the current year and the following two calendar years.
