SGX Group sets record commodity derivatives in November

Commodity derivatives volume jumped 48% YoY to 5.4 million contracts.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX Group) saw its commodity derivatives volume jump to a new record high of 5.4 million contracts in November, a 48% YoY jump.

SGX observed an “increasing participation in commodity products that provide exposure to Asia and global trade.”

In the same month, SGX Commodities’ flagship iron ore derivatives suite recorded its second-highest monthly volume ever.

The bourse attributed the good performance of its iron ore derivatives to “higher risk management activity amidst rising iron ore prices from China’s robust demand, as well as growing financial participation as iron ore continues to gain importance and recognition as a proxy to China’s economic growth.”

Meanwhile, SGX Commodities' forward freight agreement (FFA) derivatives volume achieved a new single-day record during November and a new monthly record of 294,074 contracts, an 89% YoY jump.

Another record SGX broke in November was the volume of Singapore Commodity Exchange (SICOM) rubber futures, which increased 34% YoY to 295,561 contracts.

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.
