About China A50 (FTSE China A50)
The China A50, formally the FTSE China A50 Index and identified here as CN50, tracks a selection of large mainland Chinese companies with A-shares listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen. Its level is quoted in index points rather than as a single company's share price. The supplied CFD contract size is 1 × index, expressed in USD per point.
What distinguishes the China A50 is its focus on mainland A-shares, rather than Chinese companies listed exclusively in Hong Kong or overseas. This gives it a particular connection to domestic financial conditions, policy decisions and investor sentiment. Its constituent and sector weights shape how individual company developments and broader economic news feed into the index level.
On Xellion's MT5 platform, China A50 is traded as a CFD, allowing a position to be long or short without owning the underlying shares. Trading is available nearly 24 hours, Monday to Friday, with a daily break, and is most active during Shanghai and Shenzhen hours. CFD leverage magnifies both gains and losses.

CN50 questions
How does China A50 differ from Hong Kong equity indices?
China A50 focuses on mainland A-shares listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen. Hong Kong equity indices cover a different listing market and constituent universe. Their sector exposure, investor participation and responses to policy or company news can therefore differ.
When is CN50 available to trade?
CN50 trading runs nearly 24 hours, Monday to Friday, with a daily break. Activity is typically strongest during Shanghai and Shenzhen trading hours, when the underlying mainland share markets are open.
How is the CN50 CFD contract expressed?
The supplied contract size is 1 × index, expressed in USD per point. The index level itself is quoted in points. The monetary effect of a point movement depends on the position size and whether the position is long or short.
Does trading China A50 on Xellion involve owning Chinese shares?
No. CN50 is traded as a CFD on Xellion's MT5 platform, so a position can be long or short without ownership of the underlying shares. The contract provides exposure to price movements rather than shareholder rights, and leverage magnifies gains and losses.
