Abstract: China’s efforts to develop commodity futures markets and enhance its influence over commodity pricing are best understood as part of a broader strategy to reduce financial vulnerabilities and increase strategic autonomy within a hierarchical global financial system. Commodity pricing power – defined as the capacity to shape the infrastructures, regulation, participation and currency denomination of derivative markets through which prices are formed – has become an increasingly important component of geopolitical competition. For China, this is not about economic efficiency, but control over the terms under which strategically important commodities are valued and traded.
