THE rivalry between Singapore Exchange (SGX) and Hong Kong Exchange and Clearing (HKEx) has been cast into the spotlight once again.
This time, it was triggered by news that the Hong Kong bourse has struck a deal for a suite of MSCI equity indexes leading to an initial 37 futures and options contracts similar to those offered on SGX.
