SGX Group reports strong August volume growth

Derivatives traded volume rose 11% year on year to 27.4 million contracts.

SGX Group reported strong volume growth in August, driven by global institutions using its China-access derivatives to manage risk across various assets and positive momentum in the Singapore stock market.

Derivatives traded volume rose 11% year on year to 27.4 million contracts. Securities market turnover gained 17% YoY to $33.6b, whilst securities daily average value also increased 17% YoY to $1.6b

A rally in China’s equities market drove demand for China equity derivatives, with DAV of SGX FTSE China A50 Index Futures rising 66% YoY in August to 496,023 lots, the highest in six months.

Moreover, the Straits Times Index (STI) advanced further in August, rising 2.3% month on month to 4,269.7.

On a Singapore dollar basis, the STI topped Asia-Pacific benchmark indices across a five-year horizon for total returns, returning 111% as of August.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
