Singapore Commodity Exchange to start trading gold

Singapore Exchange unit SICOM will begin trading its gold deferred settlement contract on 30 March 2010 to attract new investors.

Also as part of SGX's plan to boost its trading volumes, the new contract will allow investors to be exposed to the international spot gold price and not pay the full notional contract value, according to a Reuters report.

The contract, which will be priced in U.S. dollar per troy ounce, is made up of 10 troy ounces of gold with a minimum purchase requirement of 300 lots.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
