Technical failure interrupts SGX derivatives market

Trading was halted for an hour and a half.

SGX assured the public that trading would be back to normal today after they were forced to switch certain services to backup systems as worried members couldn’t connect to the market yesterday.

“Fair, orderly and continuous trading resumed successfully with an opening auction at 2130 hours and continuous matching at 2145 hours. We apologise for the inconvenience caused,” a release from SGX said.

The interruption was initiated after members reported not being able to connect to the market on 7:56pm.

“SGX informs that the Derivatives market is expected to re-open with a pre-open at 21.30, non-cancel at 21.43, with trading commencing at 21.45. The market will close per normal,” the release added.

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.
