Total volumes increased to $48.6m contracts.

SGX derivatives continue to grow by 10% qoq, increasing 2Q18’s revenue, according to a report from OCBC.

Singapore’s derivatives revenue increased to $83.3m, with total volumes increased to $48.6m contracts.

SGX Nifty 50, FTSE China A50, Nikkei 225 and MSCI Singapore futures mainly contributed to the increase in volumes, but was offset by lower volumes in Iron Ore.

Further, SGX maintains leadership in different derivatives markets, with higher share across virtual steel mill chain and its key FX pairs. The average fee per contract was lower by 8% y-o-y at $1.07 as trading members cause a high growth in volumes.

OCBC expects 2H18 to include broad-based growth from securities market and derivatives businesses.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
