SGX trading for some derivative products hit by disruption

Singapore

THE Singapore Exchange (SGX) on Thursday suffered its second trading disruption in five months, with the frequency of the stoppages frustrating investors even as the authorities try to revitalise the bourse in one of Asia's major financial hubs.

SGX said trading for some derivative products such as the Nikkei 225 index futures opened at 10am local time. This is more than two hours after the normal scheduled start for some contracts.
