This year marks 30 years since SGX pioneered the world’s first futures contract based on the Japanese stock market –
SGX Nikkei 225 Index Futures.
The SGX Nikkei 225 Index Futures internationalised the Japan equity futures market and is actively traded by participants all over the globe. Leveraging on the contracts success, SGX has launched complementary products including options on the Nikkei 225 Index as well as Asia’s first dividend index futures.
Today, SGX has the world’s widest offshore Nikkei derivatives market. In the last decade, SGX Nikkei trading has successfully transitioned from floor to electronic trading and turnover has grown to 4.5X of the previous 10 years.
In celebration of this milestone, CME Group and SGX has co-authored a paper on the Nikkei 225 Futures.
