A whopping 108.9 million tonnes.

According to the release, Singapore Exchange (SGX) has cleared a record high of 108.9 million tonnes (217,803 lots) for its flagship iron ore swaps in 2012. This is 2.5 times of the 43.2 million tonnes (86,391 lots) cleared in 2011.

Open interest reached an all-time high of 12.3 million tonnes (24,627 lots) on 28 Dec 2012. SGX remains as the global market leader and clearing house of choice for iron ore swaps clearing with a market share of over 95%.

The newly launched SGX Iron Ore Option contract has also seen good support from market participants with 758,000 tonnes (1,516 lots) cleared since its launch on 10 Sep 2012. This is equivalent to about 30% of the global cleared volume for the same period.

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.
