Singapore derivatives contracts trading delayed yet again

It's the second disruption in five months.

According to Reuters, the Singapore exchange on Thursday suffered its second trading disruption in five months, with the frequency of the stoppages frustrating investors even as authorities try to revitalise the bourse in one of Asia's major financial hubs.

SGX said trading opened at 10 a.m. local time, (0200 GMT), more than two hours after the normal scheduled start for some contracts such as the Nikkei 225 index futures, but did not give a reason for the delay.

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.
