Risk management has become increasingly complex for global institutions amidst fast-evolving geopolitical developments. The slew of reciprocal tariffs announced by U.S. President Trump on Liberation Day has the potential to significantly impact key Asian markets. How market participants position themselves will determine their ability to thrive or merely survive in this volatile environment, especially in Asian markets where trust and efficiency are paramount. At SGX Group, we’ve observed a strong uptick in hedging activity in our Asian equity and currency derivatives contracts, across all time zones, as global investors respond to these developments round the clock. Our flagship products, such as the SGX FTSE China A50 Index Futures and SGX FTSE Taiwan Index Futures, recorded robust volumes overnight during our T+1 trading session as well as today, which was China’s onshore market holiday. In the FX space, SGX USD/CNH Futures volume reached 240,355 lots (US$24 billion) yesterday after the tariff announcements — representing a 40% jump from the year-to-date daily average. SGX KRW/USD Futures also posted a record single T-session volume of 55,391 lots (US$944 million), marking a 5% increase over the previous high. Our SGX FTSE China A50 Index Futures and SGX USD/CNH FX Futures are the most liquid and widely traded international futures for Chinese equities and the renminbi respectively, while our SGX FTSE Taiwan Index Futures is the most liquid CFTC-approved offshore product for investors to hedge Taiwan’s semiconductor-centric equities market. SGX Group’s multi-asset derivatives marketplace is the trusted and efficient venue for global investors trading Asian markets, especially in times of heightened volatility. As markets evolve, so must your strategies. Speak with us today to learn more about how we can support your risk-management needs. #SGXEquityDerivatives #SGXFX #ReciprocalTariffs #Trade #Trump #RiskManagement

This week, we hosted an industry get-together to celebrate the continuous market highs of the Straits Times Index (STI), including recently breaching 4,000 points for the first time. This milestone reflects the collaborative efforts and support of our ecosystem partners, including our member firms, product issuers, SPH Media, FTSE Russell, An LSEG Business, remisiers, SGX Academy trainers, financial influencers, and broader industry associations. The STI's impressive performance, with a 30% return over the past year and a 6% annual price appreciation since 1966, underscores its role in representing the regional linkages of the Singapore economy. The combined assets under management of the two ETFs tracking the STI have grown over 10% in Q1 to S$2.6 billion, highlighting continued investor confidence 📈. The STI continues to represent the regional linkages of the Singapore economy, with nearly half of the revenue associated with the STI generated outside of Singapore, mostly across the APAC region, paralleling our important trade corridors. Additionally, STI constituents beyond the local banks have embarked on or are embarking on ambitious strategic transformations with bold measures. These include Seatrium, Singtel, CapitaLand Investment, Sembcorp Industries, Hongkong Land, and Keppel. We remain committed to invigorating Singapore's stock market and ensuring the STI continues to represent the best of the Singapore economy. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this memorable evening. Your presence and support are invaluable as we continue to build a thriving marketplace and a stronger ecosystem together 🤝.

Congratulations to Lion Global Investors and China Merchants Bank on the successful listing of the Lion-China Merchants CSI Dividend Index ETF on SGX Securities yesterday, under the SSE-SGX ETF Product Link 🎉 This marks the ninth ETF launched under the China-Singapore ETF Product Link, a collaboration between SGX Group and Shanghai Stock Exchange(SSE). Since its inception just two years ago, the combined Assets Under Management (AUM) across these ETFs has exceeded S$700 million — a strong testament to growing investor interest in China-focused strategies. Three key highlights of this newly listed ETF: 1️⃣ Reliable passive income – tracks the CSI Dividend Index, comprising the top 100 dividend-paying stocks in Shanghai and Shenzhen, screened for strong cash flow and financial health. 2️⃣ High diversification – the top 10 constituents represent just 16% of the index, helping reduce concentration risks. 3️⃣ Sector resilience with a tilt towards energy – key weights include Financials (24%), Energy (20%), and Materials (13%), aligning with China’s strategic focus on energy security during its massive energy transition. We’re proud to support our partners in broadening cross-border ETF access and building more resilient, income-generating investment tools for investors globally 🌏 #SGXSecurities #ETF #Trading #Investment #Dividends #CrossBorder

"Re-equitisation isn’t just about introducing new products or shares; it’s about creating a more vibrant stock market with active participation across a diverse group of market participants. Everyone has to chip in." In a recent interview with ShareInvestor Pte Ltd, our Head of Equities, Yao Loong Ng, highlighted Singapore's strategic initiatives to enhance market liquidity and participation in the stock market. This push comes at an opportune time. With rising volatility in global markets, Singapore’s stock market can be a beacon for investors looking for stability and diversification. Offering approximately 30% total returns in the last 12 months, Singapore’s benchmark STI – which is currently trading at all-time highs – continues to maintain one of the highest dividend yields across the region. By implementing targeted 're-equitisation' measures and leveraging the Equity Market Development Programme, SGX Group aims to foster capital formation and drive growth.
