For the month of January, derivatives traded volume climbed 3% m-o-m to 23.9 million contracts, with derivatives daily average volume (DAV) up 14% m-o-m at 1.24 million contracts.
Singapore Exchange (SGX) Group says that the Straits Times Index (STI) climbed to the highest in over 17 years, at 3,886.98 on Jan 8, amid accelerated activity across multiple asset classes in its market statistics report for January 2025.
The exchange said that trading activity accelerated driven by increased risk-management activity over the Lunar New Year holiday, heightened volatility amid a technology sell off and global policymaking uncertainty.
