SGX to adopt circuit breakers by early next year

After $6.9b in market value got erased in just 3 days.

According to Bloomberg's report, Singapore Exchange (SGX), Southeast Asia’s biggest bourse, plans to add circuit breakers by early next year after a plunge in shares of three commodity companies erased $6.9 billion in market value over three days.

Under the proposal, trading of a stock will be halted for 5 minutes if it breaches 10 percent in either direction, the exchange said in an e-mailed response to queries. The bourse sought public feedback on the plan in June, it 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.
