MAS flags sudden, unexplained jump in SGX's share price

Trade with caution when it comes to this security.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) today flagged that sudden and unexplained jump in SGX's share price yesterday.

The central bank issued a 'trade with caution' warning against the market operator after SGX's share price jumped by 5.62% yesterday, July 1.

The MAS also flagged the marked increase in the share's traded volume.

SGX's traded volume jumped to over 7.5m shares yesterday, more than double the 3.7m shares that changed hands on the preceding trading day.

In response to the MAS, SGX said that it is unaware of any reasons behind the unusual activity of its stock.

"Shareholders and potential investors should exercise caution when dealing in the securities. MAS will investigate all possible transgressions and pursue all actions necessary to maintain a fair, orderly and transparent market," the MAS said.

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.
