SGX Iron Ore Swap hits record high

A whopping 108.9 million tonnes.

According to the release, Singapore Exchange (SGX) has cleared a record high of 108.9 million tonnes (217,803 lots) for its flagship iron ore swaps in 2012. This is 2.5 times of the 43.2 million tonnes (86,391 lots) cleared in 2011.

Open interest reached an all-time high of 12.3 million tonnes (24,627 lots) on 28 Dec 2012. SGX remains as the global market leader and clearing house of choice for iron ore swaps clearing with a market share of over 95%.

The newly launched SGX Iron Ore Option contract has also seen good support from market participants with 758,000 tonnes (1,516 lots) cleared since its launch on 10 Sep 2012. This is equivalent to about 30% of the global cleared volume for the same period.

SGX AsiaClear offers a comprehensive suite of OTC commodities products covering bulk commodities, energy, freight and rubber. The overall OTC volume cleared on SGX AsiaClear has reached a record high of 337,702 lots in 2012. This is a 77% increase over the previous year.

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.
