Notes:

Spot-Fut Basis = Spot Price - Futures Price
Price Units: Gold: CNY/gram; Silver: CNY/kilogram; Glass (spot): CNY/square meter; All other commodities: CNY/ton.
Coke Specifications: Spot price is for Secondary Metallurgical Coke. Futures contract specifications are between Primary and Secondary grade. The Coke basis is for reference only.
* Note on Basis Calculation for Specific Contracts: For Glass (ZCE), Egg (DCE), and Live Hog (DCE), the basis calculation involves unit conversion (spot unit vs. futures contract unit, typically CNY/ton for futures). The percentage shown reflects the basis relative to the spot price in its original unit. The absolute basis value for Glass is in CNY/ton equivalent. For Egg and Live Hog, the absolute basis appears large due to the significant unit difference (e.g., CNY/500kg for egg futures vs. CNY/kg for spot).
