SGX Group sets record commodity derivatives in November

Commodity derivatives volume jumped 48% YoY to 5.4 million contracts.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX Group) saw its commodity derivatives volume jump to a new record high of 5.4 million contracts in November, a 48% YoY jump.

SGX observed an “increasing participation in commodity products that provide exposure to Asia and global trade.”

In the same month, SGX Commodities’ flagship iron ore derivatives suite recorded its second-highest monthly volume ever.

The bourse attributed the good performance of its iron ore derivatives to “higher risk management activity amidst rising iron ore prices from China’s robust demand, as well as growing financial participation as iron ore continues to gain importance and recognition as a proxy to China’s economic growth.”

Meanwhile, SGX Commodities' forward freight agreement (FFA) derivatives volume achieved a new single-day record during November and a new monthly record of 294,074 contracts, an 89% YoY jump.

Another record SGX broke in November was the volume of Singapore Commodity Exchange (SICOM) rubber futures, which increased 34% YoY to 295,561 contracts.

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.
