SGX derivatives market extends trading hours

One-hour extension will enable customers to give prompt response to news and global market movements.

Singapore Exchange (SGX) on Wednesday said its derivatives market will introduce various enhancements from 30 August including an extension of trading hours, according to an SGX report.

The derivatives market will extend its trading hours to 2.00 am from 1.00am. Other enhancements include a narrowing of the trading break between the T session close and the start of the Pre-Open of the T+1 session for the SGX Nikkei 225 Index and SGX MSCI Taiwan Index suite of products. The break will be shortened to 30 minutes.

“The new hours of the exchange will allow customers to better manage their positions in response to news and market movements during the European and North American trading hours. This enhancement further strengthens our Asian Gateway offering and affirms our commitment towards making our market more accessible to international and domestic customers,” said Ms Janice Kan, Senior Vice President, Derivatives at SGX.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
