SGX will offer Nifty options

Singapore Exchange has obtained licensing rights and expects to provide S&P CNX Nifty Index (Nifty) options and related products.

Licensing rights from India Index Services & Products Limited (IISL) will allow SGX to offer the product range including derivative contracts on the CNX Nifty Junior, CNX 100 and CNX Midcap indices. Subject to regulatory approvals, the products may be added amidst rise in the trading of India-related products on SGX.

Market participants are expected to gain enhanced means for risk management and increased trading opportunities with these new India-based products. Total trading volume in 2009 for the SGX S&P CNX Nifty Futures was 7.1 million contracts, or a daily average of 29,524 contracts.

SGX CEO Mr Magnus Bocker said, "We would like to express our appreciation to our customers for their support of our current suite of India-linked products. As we continue to find ways to meet customers' growing interest in the Indian market through our different partnerships, we are very excited to deepen our relationship with IISL with this planned expansion of our suite of Indian equity derivatives. This will complement our current offerings and bolster SGX's position as a one-stop gateway for international market participants to manage their Indian investment, trading and hedging needs."

Meanwhile Mr Ravi Narain, Chairman of the Board of Directors of IISL and Managing Director & CEO of the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, said, "The total trading volume of Nifty-linked Futures on NSE in 2009 was 167 million contracts, representing a daily average of 687,000 contracts and the trading volume of Nifty-linked Options on NSE in 2009 was 321 million contracts representing a daily average of 1,321,000 contracts Index derivatives based on Nifty have been very successful both in India and in Singapore over the last few years."

National Stock Exchange of India Limited and Singapore Exchange have also signed a Memorandum of Understanding to cooperate in the development of a market for India-linked products.

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.

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.
