Policy-induced volatility is reshaping capital market flows, presenting both challenges and opportunities for investors. As tariff fatigue sets in, global capital that was waiting at the sidelines is now flowing into Asia and Europe. At #CNBCCONVERGE LIVE last week, our CFO Daniel Koh shared his perspectives on how Asia is benefitting from the uncertainties created by oscillating trade policies. This is evident in the trading activity in our marketplace across asset classes. For instance, open interest in SGX FTSE China A50 index futures – the world's most liquid international futures for Chinese equities – increased over 20% y-o-y in February 2025, reaching a notional value of US$13.8 billion. Additionally, trading at all-time highs, the daily average volumes of our SGX FX derivatives have expanded significantly, with more than a third now traded during U.S. and European hours. The lively panel discussion, featuring Daniel and NSE India Managing Director and CEO Ashish Chauhan, and hosted by CNBC anchor Stephen Sedgwick, also explored the compelling prospects of India, one of the world's fastest growing major economies. Today, our NSE IX-SGX GIFT Connect draws open interest of US$14 billion from international investors. As global capital and investment flows from market to market, our pan-Asia derivatives waterfront allows our international customers to capture diverse opportunities with efficiency and confidence.

Our CEO Boon Chye Loh was on “The Exchange Landscape: View from the Top”, the headline panel at #Boca50 on Wednesday. Here are five key takeaways from the session: 1️⃣ Despite a rewiring of global trade amid policy changes by the new Trump administration, participants in the international cleared derivatives industry expect the U.S. dollar to remain the dominant currency in trading and risk management. 2️⃣ Europe's economic competitiveness may have been called into question amid a broader geopolitical "wake-up call", but business leaders anticipate that sovereignty in energy, technology, defence and capital markets to be a focus for European politicians. 3️⃣ While deregulation efforts in Washington DC are likely to accelerate growth in U.S. markets, exchange leaders say the challenge is to have regulatory clarity and a level playing field. 4️⃣ Despite uncertainty over the path for environment priorities, the underlying realities of climate change - and the fundamental need for climate finance to support the transition - have not changed. 5️⃣ For global institutions, a gap exists between regulated financial markets and the freewheeling world of cryptocurrency trading - and market participants are debating how innovations such as perpetual futures can bridge that. Our thanks to Richard Berliand for moderating the exchange leaders panel comprising Boon Chye Loh, Fred Tomczyk, Jeff Sprecher, Terry Duffy, Thomas Book and Stephane Boujnah. FIA, Inc.

February marked another strong month for the SiMSCI Index, with its positive returns extending into the fourth consecutive month. On the back of this, SGX MSCI Singapore Index Futures reached a record high notional open interest of US$6.1 billion, driven by a 17% year-on-year growth in daily average volume.   Meanwhile, India’s Nifty 50 Index experienced a 5.8% month-on-month decline due to stock market volatility linked to the threat of US tariffs. Despite this, SGX GIFT Nifty 50 Options displayed resilience, with daily average volume surging sixfold year-on-year to reach US$217 million and open interest increasing to US$2.7 billion.    Looking ahead, SGX is making strides with key initiatives set to impact the market. The launch of Micro FTSE Taiwan Index Futures is scheduled for 17 March, introducing new opportunities for market participants.   Additionally, extended trading hours for the Equity Index Derivatives suite will begin on 7 April, further enhancing accessibility and market engagement.   For more detailed insights, access our full report via the link in the comments section.   #SGXEquityDerivatives #EquityDerivatives #Futures #MarketUpdate #SGX #FTSE #GIFT #Nifty50 #MSCI

🚀📈 The momentum in our Hong Kong Singapore Depository Receipts (SDR) continued to build with the debut of three new Hong Kong names on 5 March – Meituan, Ping An and Xiaomi – the trio collectively traded $1 million in daily turnover in its first three trading days. The robust investor interest contributed to a strong start to the month, with SDR trading $5.3 million in the first week of March, up 26% month-over-month (MoM). The remarkable growth since the launch of Hong Kong SDR in October 2024 is testament to SDRs being an attractive investment vehicle.
