Singapore Exchange Ltd (SGX) today announced that it will extend the trading hours of its derivatives market to 2255 hours Singapore time with effect from Monday, 11 December 2006.
The extension of the trading hours will enable trading of the SGX derivatives contracts during European and US trading hours. This will allow market participants to better manage their trading positions and capitalise on market opportunities that may occur during European and US trading hours.
Following the successful migration from floor to electronics trading, the extended trading hours will further enhance visibility and access of the SGX product suite to global market participants. In building SGX as the Asian risk management centre, this will pave the way for future expansion of SGX derivatives product suite to meet the investment needs of global customers.
The contracts that will be extended are as shown in Annex 1.
