SINGAPORE Exchange (SGX) will buy the remaining 80 per cent stake in BidFX it does not already own from other shareholders for about US$128 million cash, in a move that will expand its reach beyond foreign exchange (FX) futures into the larger global FX over-the-counter (OTC) market.
The transaction, which is expected to complete in July, marks a major step in bridging the listed and OTC markets in FX.
