SGX Group hits news record for FX volume in June

FX futures traded volume rose 12% MoM in June to 3.3 million contracts.

Foreign exchange (FX) volume reached new records in June on the back of heightened risk-management activity, Singapore Exchange (SGX) Group reported.

“Uncertainties over the growth outlook in key Asian economies, coupled with continued tightening by major central banks around the world, bolstered risk-management activity on SGX FX,” SGX Group said.

In June, FX futures traded volume rose 12% MoM to 3.3 million contracts.
In the same month, the combined average daily volume (ADV) of FX futures and over-the-counter (OTC) FX contracts from BidFX, MaxxTrader and SGX CurrencyNode rose above US$100b for the first time.

SGX USD/CNH Futures volume likewise increased, climbing 16% MoM. Meanwhile, ADV also hit a record-high of 98,000 lots or US$9.8 billion national.

“SGX INR/USD Futures volume gained 11% MoM, with open interest setting a record 164,332 lots or US$4.1 billion notional on 26 June,” SGX Group reported.

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.
