SGX's derivatives trading volume hit quarterly high of 31.5b

Reflective of SGX's success.

According to CIMB, derivatives trading volume reached a quarterly high of 31.5bn in 4QFY13, from 27.7bn in 3QFY13. In particular, the Nikkei 225 Index Futures received considerable interest during the quarter, with 28.9% qoq growth in volume traded.

CIMB said that derivatives trading volume has been on an uptrend since a year ago in Jul 12, and reflects SGX’s success in shifting away from securities trading to other revenue streams.

"Derivatives should continue to provide earnings support as revenue from securities is likely to take a beating from global macro headwinds," CIMB said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
