SGX Group reports strong August volume growth

Derivatives traded volume rose 11% year on year to 27.4 million contracts.

SGX Group reported strong volume growth in August, driven by global institutions using its China-access derivatives to manage risk across various assets and positive momentum in the Singapore stock market.

Derivatives traded volume rose 11% year on year to 27.4 million contracts. Securities market turnover gained 17% YoY to $33.6b, whilst securities daily average value also increased 17% YoY to $1.6b

A rally in China’s equities market drove demand for China equity derivatives, with DAV of SGX FTSE China A50 Index Futures rising 66% YoY in August to 496,023 lots, the highest in six months.

Moreover, the Straits Times Index (STI) advanced further in August, rising 2.3% month on month to 4,269.7.

On a Singapore dollar basis, the STI topped Asia-Pacific benchmark indices across a five-year horizon for total returns, returning 111% as of August.

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.
