We are excited to share that SGX KRW/USD FX Futures set a new record in October with a traded volume of US$7.2 billion, up 🚀 150% year-on-year, and a new daily average volume (DAV) record of US$361 million (representing a daily volume of 19,156 lots). Active market participation during US and European hours also pushed T+1 session volumes to a record US$3 billion, making up 42% of the total volume. Open Interest for SGX KRW/USD FX Futures closed at US$ 745 million for the month, up ✨ 400% year-on-year and 64% month-on-month, driven by a diverse range of market participants. Despite challenges for the Korean Won due to the strong dollar and uncertainty around China’s stimulus plan, positive sentiment was driven by the inclusion of South Korean government bonds in the FTSE Russell Global Bond index and a rate cut by the Bank of Korea. The Won’s implied volatility remained high, highlighting the dynamic market conditions and the need for deep market liquidity. During Korea’s public holidays in early October, SGX KRW/USD FX Futures remained available for trading, with a tight 2-tick bid-offer spread, ensuring seamless trading amid global events. It’s noteworthy that SGX holds the largest offshore KRW Futures market share - with 84% volume and 98% open interest.

October was another month of new records for the SGX FTSE China A50 Index Futures. With volatility hitting new highs, almost 15 million contracts were traded over the month - this translated to a daily average volume (DAV) of 828k contracts (US$ 11b), an all-time high since the contract’s launch in 2006. The previous DAV record was set in June 2015 amidst a sharp sell-off in Chinese equities.   With trading activity extending beyond the cash market hours, 17% of total volumes in October came from the T+1 session (5 pm – 5.15 am SGT). In total, 143k contracts (US$ 2b) were traded daily during the T+1 session, a new high for the SGX A50 Futures contract and a good reflection of the continued price discovery during European and U.S. hours.   This week, the China National People’s Congress meetings and U.S. elections will be taking place, investors should brace themselves for increased volatility in the global markets as such. With round-the-clock trading, the hyper liquid SGX A50 Futures contract is well-positioned to help investors better navigate tricky market conditions.

The Responsible Investor Asia 2024 conference earlier this week provided a stage for valuable discussions, including the pivotal role of exchanges in capital allocation, particularly in offering risk management solutions for portfolios aligning with the transition. Our own Laurent Poirot, Head of Product Strategy & Development, had the opportunity to engage in a panel on 'Scaling Transition Finance in ASEAN' with other esteemed panelists Trista Chen 陈嘉, Rachel Chia, and Heidi Yip. During the discussion, they delved into examples of recent transition financing strategies and the impact of engagements across Asia. Also of emphasis was the importance of fostering dialogue across all sectors. Despite the varying speeds of adoption within different industries, creating these conversations is crucial for a successful transition. A key topic from the panel was on the recently published Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) consultation paper, which serves as a crucial document aimed at integrating transition financing strategies into index benchmarking to achieve real world decarbonisation. The paper, a result from a diversified working group of asset owners, asset managers, index providers, and international organisations, led by Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM), PKA and SGX Group, aims to provide a voluntary guidance for the creation and utilisation of transition-informed indices that, complemented with proactive engagement strategy, can support real-economy decarbonisation and work towards global net-zero targets. Additionally, the paper advocates for the importance of quality and comparable climate data available at scale as one of the areas of further work required. We have included useful links to the GFANZ site in the comments section. From there, you will be able to download the paper as well as participate in the survey (deadline of 9 January 2025). Thank you again to Responsible Investor Asia, Boris Petrovic and Will Powell for this successful event. We are eager to hear your thoughts on how we can further embed climate transition considerations into our financial frameworks, please leave us your comments. #TransitionFinance #SustainableInvesting #Decarbonisation #RIAsia2024 #GFANZ #indexinvesting
