SGX, B3 to launch real futures contracts in 2025

If approved, the move will be SGX’s first time venturing into emerging markets currencies out of Asia.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) said on Monday it was teaming up with Brazilian exchange operator B3 to help investors manage exposure to the currency during Asia trading, Reuters reported.

SGX and B3 will launch real futures contracts later this year.  If the Brazilian real futures contracts receive regulatory approval, it would be SGX's first time venturing into emerging markets currencies out of Asia.

According to Reuters, the contracts come as global investors' interest in Brazilian markets increases, bringing a desire to hedge currency risks around-the-clock, especially as trade tensions and geopolitics heighten uncertainty in global markets.

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.
