A SURGE of interest in overseas equity markets spurred a second-half rise in derivatives volumes for the Singapore Exchange (SGX) in 2014, cushioning the impact of a lacklustre securities scene on the homefront.
The daily average trading turnover of securities in December rose 3 per cent to S$983 million, but fell 11 per cent from November. For the whole of 2014, securities daily average value (SDAV) was down 25 per cent.
