SGX Group hits news record for FX volume in June

FX futures traded volume rose 12% MoM in June to 3.3 million contracts.

Foreign exchange (FX) volume reached new records in June on the back of heightened risk-management activity, Singapore Exchange (SGX) Group reported.

“Uncertainties over the growth outlook in key Asian economies, coupled with continued tightening by major central banks around the world, bolstered risk-management activity on SGX FX,” SGX Group said.

In June, FX futures traded volume rose 12% MoM to 3.3 million contracts.
In the same month, the combined average daily volume (ADV) of FX futures and over-the-counter (OTC) FX contracts from BidFX, MaxxTrader and SGX CurrencyNode rose above US$100b for the first time.

SGX USD/CNH Futures volume likewise increased, climbing 16% MoM. Meanwhile, ADV also hit a record-high of 98,000 lots or US$9.8 billion national.

“SGX INR/USD Futures volume gained 11% MoM, with open interest setting a record 164,332 lots or US$4.1 billion notional on 26 June,” SGX Group reported.

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.
