In the first three quarters, 150 futures companies achieved a net profit of 9.127 billion yuan.

The latest data from the China Futures Association shows that in September this year, the 150 futures companies nationwide had an agency trading value of 84.47 trillion yuan, an agency trading volume of 1.233 billion lots, operating revenue of 3.251 billion yuan, and net profit of 638 million yuan. Among these, operating revenue and net profit both declined to varying degrees compared with the same period last year. Several analysts interviewed said that the decline in both operating revenue and net profit of futures companies nationwide in September was mainly due to lower market trading activity and a pullback in investment returns on proprietary funds.
