SMX to be launched in mid 2010

The Singapore Mercantile Exchange, the first Pan-Asian multi-product commodity derivatives exchange, will be launched in Singapore middle of this year.

Owned by India's Financial Technologies (FT) Group, SMX will offer a comprehensive basket of commodity derivatives for trading, including futures and options contracts on precious metals, base metals, agriculture commodities and commodity indices.

Mr Kola Luu, Executive Director, Financial Markets Strategy Department, Monetary Authority of Singapore, said, "We believe this development will further strengthen Singapore's lead as the region's commodity derivatives trading hub."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
