SGX, B3 to launch real futures contracts in 2025

If approved, the move will be SGX’s first time venturing into emerging markets currencies out of Asia.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) said on Monday it was teaming up with Brazilian exchange operator B3 to help investors manage exposure to the currency during Asia trading, Reuters reported.

SGX and B3 will launch real futures contracts later this year. If the Brazilian real futures contracts receive regulatory approval, it would be SGX's first time venturing into emerging markets currencies out of Asia.

According to Reuters, the contracts come as global investors' interest in Brazilian markets increases, bringing a desire to hedge currency risks around-the-clock, especially as trade tensions and geopolitics heighten uncertainty in global markets.

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.
