The Shanghai International Energy Exchange (INE), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE), was established in 2013 and launched its first product — the Yuan-denominated crude oil futures contract — in March 2018. The crude oil contract was China's first commodity futures contract opened to direct foreign investment, marking a historic step in China's internationalisation of commodity markets. INE also lists bonded copper and natural rubber RSS3 contracts, with further international commodity products in development.

The Iran Mercantile Exchange (IME), established in 2007 through the merger of the Tehran Metal Exchange and the Agricultural Commodity Exchange of Iran, is Iran's primary regulated commodity exchange. IME trades physical and derivatives contracts for industrial and mineral products (steel, copper, aluminium, zinc, iron ore), oil by-products and petrochemicals, and agricultural commodities. Supervised by Iran's Securities and Exchange Organisation (SEO), IME serves as a key price-discovery mechanism for Iran's large mineral and manufacturing sectors.
