SGX to launch interest rate derivatives in H2

These features link Singapore and Japan’s interest rate derivatives.

Singapore Exchange Group (SGX) announced that they will be introducing short-term interest rate features linked to the Singapore Overnight Rate Average (SORA) and Tokyo Overnight Average Rate (TONA) in the second half of 2024.

“The uncertain interest rate environment, coupled with inflation and volatility in the macroenvironment, has increased the appeal and usage of interest rate derivatives as a cost-effective, transparent hedging and trading tool.” KC Lam, global head of FX & Rates, SGX Group, said.

The three-month SORA and TONA Futures contracts are aimed to launch in the second half of this year, subject to regulatory approval.

These contracts are expected to augment the SGX MSCI Singapore Index Futures and SGX USD/SGD Full-sized and Mini FX Futures, SGX said in an announcement.

The three-month TONA Futures is also expected to complement SGX’s Japanese derivatives portfolio such as JGB futures, SGX Nikkei 225 Index futures and options, as well as SGX USD/JPY FX futures.

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.
