New SGX feature to lower costs for bilateral trades

The SGX FlexC FX Futures will be launching on 27 August.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) will launch SGX FlexC FX Futures that will enable privately-negotiated bilateral trades with tailored expiration dates to be registered and cleared like a standard SGX FX futures contract through an over-the-counter (OTC) procedure, an announcement revealed.

“Access to counterparty credit, especially for tenors longer than spot, is increasingly scarce and expensive in the OTC FX markets,”SGX head of derivatives Michael Syn said.

SGX noted that the new feature “will offer an effective way of enhancing operational efficiencies, lowering costs and counterparty credit risk, and keeping bilateral trading relationships at the same time”. It will also help to streamline the regulatory obligations faced by market participants.

Eyed for launching on 27 August, the feature will be available for INR/US$, KRW/US$, TWD/US$, US$/RMB and US$/$ contracts.

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.
