After broadening its Brazilian offerings, the CME is upgrading its Chinese Renminbi product line by adding deliverable futures to go along with its existing NDF. According to the CME, the creation of the product is based on the rapid rise of both on and offshore deposit volumes of renminbi as the currency has become more readily used in business transactions. The new futures are expected to launch in Q2 2013.

CNH futures will be listed on and subject to the rules and regulations of CME. "The Renminbi market has grown significantly during the past two years, and is highly active both during as well as outside of Asian trading hours.

"Leveraging CME Group's leadership position in the global FX markets and through the distribution of CME Globex in more than 85 countries to our diversified client base that includes hedge funds, asset managers, banks and corporate accounts, we are best positioned to further internationalize the offshore Renminbi (CNH) currency."
