SGX derivatives market to add rubber futures

From 16 May, rubber futures will be added to the commodities suite with the migration of SICOM rubber contracts onto the SGX trading platform.

According to SGX, the addition of SICOM TSR 20 and SICOM RSS 3 rubber futures will enable more international traders to participate in the contracts, thereby enhancing liquidity. The rubber contracts have a history which dates back to the 1920s and are pricing benchmarks for regional and global rubber producers, manufacturers, traders and consumers. From 16 May, TSR 20 rubber contracts traded over-the-counter will also be cleared by SGX AsiaClear.

Mr Gan Seow Ann, president of SGX said, “By bringing together all our commodities futures on our derivatives market, SGX strengthens its commitment to deliver Asia with Global Reach. Our customers will benefit from more opportunities to trade and manage their risk exposures in the region.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
