In addition to enhancing product reliability, SGX FX focused on improving capital efficiencies for traders. The introduction of a multi-tier margin regime for USD/CNH FX futures allowed clients to better manage capital, especially in calendar spread trades. SGX FX was one of the few exchanges in Asia to offer inter and intra margin offsets, resulting in cost savings for its clients.
