Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX)’s strategy to help global clients navigate challenges and opportunities in Hong Kong and Mainland markets Read the full artcle: https://bit.ly/3UqlQiq At Sibos 2024 in Beijing, Tae Seok Clement Yoo, managing director of global client development at HKEX, shared insights into how HKEX Group is addressing the evolving dynamics of China's mainland markets. In a landscape shaped by recent government stimulus measures and technological advancements, Yoo outlined HKEX’s strategies to tackle settlement challenges, attract global investors, and enhance cross-border trading infrastructure. The T+0 settlement cycle in China's mainland markets, primarily the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges, presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly for international investors who are accustomed to the longer cycles of T+2 or T+1. This shortened settlement timeline requires efficient clearing and settlement processes, a critical factor for maintaining investor confidence and mitigating counterparty risks in a fast-paced trading environment. Yoo highlighted that one of the key concerns among investors is the ability to meet settlement requirements within a constrained time frame. HKEX has introduced technological solutions to address these concerns, including its Synapse platform, which improves operational efficiency and enhances the clearing process. This platform was launched to support market participants in coping with the operational challenges of T+0, such as pre-trade checks, settlement accuracy, and exception handling within a shorter window of time.

SGX Group derivatives trading hit a new record of 3.24 million contracts in equities, FX, and commodities—surpassing the previous high of 2.96 million in April 2022. 🙌 📰 In an exclusive interview, our Director of Commodities and Dealing, Benjamin Yeo, shed light on the factors driving this surge. Key highlights include: - Macroeconomic & Geopolitical Factors: Increased volatility, central bank actions, and geopolitical uncertainties are major contributors. - Growing Market Participation: Institutional investors, proprietary trading firms, and retail traders are leveraging derivatives to hedge against risks and optimise portfolios. - Education for Retail Investors: Futures contracts provide powerful tools for managing exposure to market risks, and at Phillip Nova, we remain committed to empowering our clients with knowledge and resources. Now is a prime opportunity for investors to leverage these powerful tools for managing market risks. For investors holding stocks, derivatives such as equity index futures can be highly effective in hedging against market downturns. As Benjamin Yeo illustrated in the article, for example, to protect a Singapore stock portfolio from a potential decline, investors can sell SiMSCI futures contracts. By doing so, any losses in the stock portfolio can be offset by gains from the futures contracts, offering a safeguard against a drop in market value. At Phillip Nova, we’re seeing increased trading activity across institutional investors, proprietary trading firms, and even retail traders. Now is the time to explore how derivatives can be a key part of your investment strategy. 🔗 Read more about this milestone and insights from Benjamin Yeo in Lianhe Zaobao 联合早报’s full article here https://lnkd.in/gZVYNZk9 #Derivatives #SGX #PhillipNova #Trading #RiskManagement #MarketInsights #FX #Commodities #Equities
