Indian stock exchange to block SGX's new products

SGX previously said that it will launch new derivatives products after Indian bourses halted data licencing.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) has been notified by the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) that it has requested the Bombay High Court to block its new products.

It previously said that “work is ongoing” to evaluate a joint trading and clearing model in Gujarat International Finance Tech (GIFT) city with NSE to meet the risk management needs of international participants. This followed the news that India's three stock exchanges will halt the licencing of data for offshore derivatives which are linked to their domestic indices. The SGX has been looking for a workaround ever since.

According to an announcement, SGX has "full confidence" in its legal position and will vigorously defend this action. "Our clients can continue to trade per normal. Our new India derivative products, which have received the relevant regulatory approvals, will list in June 2018 and allow our clients to seamlessly transition their India risk management exposures," it said.

SGX head of derivatives Michael Syn added, “SGX has a responsibility to provide risk management tools for our global clients and ensure there is no disruption to the marketplace. Our new India equity derivative products are essential to enable institutional investors to maintain their current portfolio risk exposure to the Indian capital markets."

He added that they have expressed to NSE that there is a need to maintain liquidity in the international India equity derivatives market, in order to connect international participants to GIFT IFSC. "We remain open to working with NSE and other relevant stakeholders to develop a solution that meets the risk management needs of global market participants."

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
