SGX FX Futures soared to new heights on 25 July, achieving a remarkable US$25.7 billion single-day record for USD/CNH futures contracts amidst turbulent market conditions. This milestone reaffirms SGX FX's position as the premier destination for risk management, hedging, and price discovery. Last week's rollercoaster markets came on the back of heightened volatility in U.S. equities as the tech rout continued with the 'Magnificent 7' stocks registering notable declines. The broad correction in the Japanese yen also contributed to the global risk-off sentiment. Uncertainties around the Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan's potential rate changes, ongoing U.S. Presidential election and moves by the PBOC on its medium-term lending facility added to the volatility. Surpassing the previous record by +15.1%, SGX FX's latest achievement underscores the need for a highly liquid venue for global investors to manage currency risks. The notional open interest for USD/CNH contracts also saw a notable uptick of +3% to 213,814 lots, closely approaching the historical high of 219,005 lots set in June 2024. Stay tuned for more updates on how SGX FX remains at the forefront of global FX markets! #SGXFX #USDCNH #FXMarkets #USElections #JPY #Magnificent7
