SGX September derivatives and commodities trading step up

But the exchange’s securities turnover dived 21% due to economic uncertainties.

Singapore Exchange (SGX) said derivatives and commodities activity rose while securities trading fell in September from a year earlier.

Securities

However, exchange traded fund turnover more than doubled from a year earlier to $1.1 billion and structured warrants trading more than doubled to $928 million, according to an SGX report.

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.
