SMX to be launched in mid 2010

The Singapore Mercantile Exchange, the first Pan-Asian multi-product commodity derivatives exchange, will be launched in Singapore middle of this year.

Owned by India's Financial Technologies (FT) Group, SMX will offer a comprehensive basket of commodity derivatives for trading, including futures and options contracts on precious metals, base metals, agriculture commodities and commodity indices.

Mr Kola Luu, Executive Director, Financial Markets Strategy Department, Monetary Authority of Singapore, said, "We believe this development will further strengthen Singapore's lead as the region's commodity derivatives trading hub."

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.
