Huishang Futures "Futures Knowledge Into Campus" Activity — Visiting Pingdingshan University

To deepen college students’ understanding of financial practice and build a new path for industry-education integration, on May 22, with the support of Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, Huishang Futures partnered with Pingdingshan University to successfully hold the university’s first “Futures Knowledge into Campus” event. The event received strong support from the School of Economics and Management at the university, which promoted information about the 8th “Zhengshang Exchange Cup” competition to students. Through a combination of theoretical lectures and practical competition, the event promoted the integration of futures knowledge education into the national education system. A total of 123 students participated on-site.

During the event, Huishang Futures analysts first focused on the 8th “Zhengshang Exchange Cup” National College Student Financial Simulation Trading Competition, systematically explaining the competition rules and operation procedures, emphasizing the practical value of learning through competition, and inspiring students to deepen their professional understanding through simulated trading. From the launch of the commodity futures era at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 1848 to the opening of the foreign exchange futures market in 1972, marking a new era of financial derivatives, the instructors also highlighted the development of the futures market, trading rules, and relevant laws and regulations. In the practical analysis segment, they explained core rules such as margin systems and two-way trading mechanisms through differentiated analysis of futures and forward contracts; combined with relevant laws and regulations, they detailed practical points such as account opening, risk control, delivery, and settlement. Students actively participated and interacted enthusiastically. After the event, students asked questions about the competition, which instructor Wu Piaopiao answered in detail, creating a lively atmosphere.

The 8th “Zhengshang Exchange Cup” National College Student Financial Simulation Trading Competition is guided by the Futures Regulatory Department of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Youth League Committee of the China Securities Regulatory Commission. It is co-organized by Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange and the China Futures Industry Association. The competition runs from May 11, 2025, to November 18, 2025. This “Futures Knowledge into Campus” activity, through “competition-driven + theoretical foundation + legal protection,” effectively strengthened students’ systematic understanding of the operation mechanism of the futures market. Huishang Futures will continue to deepen school-enterprise cooperation and promote collaborative innovation in industry-academia-research. (Author: Wu Piaopiao Photography: Wang Wei)
