Which Chinese futures products have a night session?

51 tracked products currently do: the commodities group closes 23:00, base metals 01:00 next day, precious metals & crude 02:30 next day; index, bond and GFEX products and CZCE urea have none.

What does next day mean for a night-session close?

01:00 and 02:30 mean the civil date after the evening open; 23:00 means the same evening. A civil date is not a trading date: weekends, holidays and exchange arrangements determine the trading-date assignment.

Which trading date does the night session belong to?

Night trading normally belongs to the next trading date. Without holiday exceptions, Monday evening belongs to Tuesday and Friday evening to Monday. A pre-holiday night session may be cancelled, so do not add one calendar day. The first returning trade date has no incoming night session; that civil evening follows the next trading date's arrangements.
