SGX proposes new algorithm for computing prices

The bourse said the computed price will better reflect the market.

Singapore Exchange is consulting the public on its proposal to change the algorithm used to compute the equilibrium price at which orders are matched at the end of the opening and closing routines and adjust phases in the securities market.

The price computed by the proposed algorithm is a better reflection of the market because, according to SGX, the algorithm’s parameters allow for a better accounting of the forces of supply and demand. This algorithm is also used by the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and NASDAQ OMX.

The consultation paper on the proposed algorithm for determining the equilibrium price is available on SGX’s website www.sgx.com.

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.
