Market volatility should keep SGX's trading volume 'firm' albeit 'peakish': RHB

SINGAPORE (April 27): The market volatility resulting from the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic disruptions should continue to keep trading volumes at the Singapore Exchange (SGX) steady, according to RHB Securities.

This comes after the bourse operator’s securities average daily value (SADV) soared 58% to $1.61 billion in 3Q FY20, from $1.02 billion a year ago.

The increase was largely due to an 85% surge in the Nikkei 225 Index futures, which has now given it a 15% share of the total equity derivatives volume.
