Singapore (Platts) Shanghai is pushing ahead with developing itself further as a commodity

The municipal government has approved the establishment of a platform for the physical spot trade of oil, LPG, natural gas, unconventional gas and other energy products, according to a December 26 statement posted early this month on its website.
