Chart of the Day: SGX’s rupee futures surpasses US$1b daily turnover

More than 20 times the volume a year earlier.

The markets shrugged off Reserve Bank of India’s decision to leave rates unchanged at 7.5%.

SGX reports that SGX INR/USD currency futures achieved a record daily volume of 32,055 contracts (over US$1b in notional turnover) traded on 8 April.

Fresh US dollar sales by banks and exporters due to the greenback’s weakness led to the rupee’s gains.

SGX adds that since the beginning of the year, the Indian rupee has bucked the trend of other emerging market currencies, holding its own against the greenback instead of weakening. It has gained 1.35% against the US dollar to date, outperforming most other Asian currencies such as the Singapore dollar and Indonesian Rupiah, which have retreated between 3.7% and 4.4% respectively against the US dollar.

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.
