Although IBKR has edited for clarity no material changes have been made<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yujun-lin-nbsp\"><strong>Yujun Lin<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hello everyone. My name is Yujun. I am the CEO of Interactive Brokers Singapore, and with me today is our special guest, the Deputy Chief Risk Officer of the Singapore Exchange, or SGX. He&#8217;s here to talk to us about a very interesting topic to many investors and our clients these days, which is India.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ivan, so I think we can begin very quickly. Past the half-year mark, how do you see the Indian economy doing in terms of growth and inflation?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ivan-han-nbsp\"><strong>Ivan Han<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yujun, thank you very much firstly for having me on the show today. India\u2019s a really exciting economy, I think, not just to investors but for the SGX as well. When you look at India from an economic perspective, I think they continue to remain one of the fastest-growing major economies globally for this year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look at GDP growth projections, they are probably still in the range of about, I would say, 5% to 6% \u2014 slightly down from last year. But if you compare it to most major economies, including the US, EU, and China, this is still a very robust figure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s driving this growth? I think the domestic growth story remains very strong. If you look at the macro fundamentals, they\u2019ve got strong domestic consumption. Capital expenditure from corporates remains strong on the governments. And you do see the government continuing to invest in infrastructure spending.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, they&#8217;re also looking to attract foreign investments with tax reforms and incentives as well. And then, a bit closer to our ballpark \u2014 you talk about the stock market \u2014 that\u2019s really where I would say, if you look at the Indian stock market, it&#8217;s been a story of resilience in the past year, especially when you look at the external environment that we operate in today with high levels of macroeconomic uncertainty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve got geopolitical tensions thrown into the mix, and not to mention the constant tariff actions that we&#8217;ve been seeing over the last few months. And I think that&#8217;s really boosted the activity that you see in the Indian stock market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So they&#8217;ve got really strong domestic liquidity. Retail investor participation remains strong. I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re aware, the regulators have taken steps to rein in some of the speculative type of activity that you&#8217;re seeing in the local markets, with a view to increasing retail investor protection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, I think it continues to remain strong. So that hasn\u2019t dampened activity as much. And I think generally you do see that, from a market perspective, there remains general optimism. The stock markets and that performance have shown \u2014 whether you look at individual stock counters or across the board from an index or sectoral perspective \u2014 I think that\u2019s where you do see India continuing to be one of the outperformers in capital markets globally today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yujun-lin-nbsp-0\"><strong>Yujun Lin<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, thanks for that. That is certainly very interesting to compare where we are today versus just four or five months ago at the beginning of the year, given the amount of noise and uncertainty the US tariffs have generated. To your point, I think India escaped the worst of it, and a lot of our clients are saying that it is a good diversification away from China and the uncertainty in the rest of the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To me, India has remained a bastion of stable growth like you had mentioned. But from an SGX perspective, what have you seen in terms of institutional position-taking or cutting and hedging from the activity in NIFTY futures \u2014 which is the Indian stock market benchmark \u2014 single stock futures, and also from an FX perspective, the Rupee-Dollar futures that you have?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ivan-han-nbsp-0\"><strong>Ivan Han<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the broad observation across the India shelf that we have, I would characterize it as having seen a flurry of activity over the past few months. Generally, you&#8217;ve seen the market swinging from a risk-off sentiment in April when Liberation Day hit, to one of cautious optimism since May, especially with 90-day reprieves coming in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you look at India \u2014 why it stands out specifically \u2014 it has been, with all the trade tensions going on, quite, I would say, isolated from a lot of the concerns over there. And I see a large part of that coming from political moves that they\u2019ve made, where I would say India has been active in engaging the US administration in trying to negotiate on trade deals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I think that has helped swing investor sentiments there. And then accordingly, when we look at our market from an institutional activity perspective across that India shelf, I think what we see \u2014 let\u2019s say for the NIFTY futures \u2014 the open interest, while there was temporarily a dip in April following the Liberation Day announcements, that was certainly risk-off at work. But since then, that open interest has recovered and in fact has increased \u2014 which suggests to us the institutional participation remains strong on both hedging as well as risk-taking activity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, in April there was a month of record volumes that we&#8217;ve seen in the G NIFTY futures. While you look at macro uncertainty and the trade tensions \u2014 where they remain high \u2014 that\u2019s also driving demand for hedging and opportunistic risk-taking at the same time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then you broaden that to look at the single stocks that we have as well on the SGX \u2014 that has also in tandem seen a notable growth in activity. I think as a suite, it trades about more than 200 million dollars per day in notional terms. Open interest has also consistently held up above 1 billion during the past few months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I think, from where we see participants using these contracts, it&#8217;s really for event-driven type of hedging activity around company earnings announcements, and in some ways, looking at sectoral type of rotation plays as well. So that kind of comes in with the use of such single stock derivatives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And FX is interesting, because through this period I think you really see FX markets having a fair bit of volatility compared to the past. Of course, the dollar\u2019s been weakening, and accordingly, EM market currencies have generally been outperforming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our rupee contract, I think volumes have seen tremendous growth in the past year. Our volumes are up close to 40% year-on-year. So we see the institutions actively using the INR futures to hedge the currency risk associated with exposures to equity or even debt markets as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And overall, it\u2019s really risk management driving these activities \u2014 with volatility in the currencies coming from whether it&#8217;s driven by oil prices or interest rate policies. These have become crucial tools for risk management.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I think just looking at the entire suite, from an institution\u2019s perspective, there certainly has been a rise in hedging activity across all the Indian instruments that we have. And that\u2019s in part reflecting both a cautious as well as a, I would say, risk-aware institutional stance that they&#8217;re taking in 2025 \u2014 just given all the different geopolitical and macroeconomic factors in play at this time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yujun-lin-nbsp-1\"><strong>Yujun Lin<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah. Okay. Thanks for that. Absolutely. So I wouldn\u2019t push you to say that institutions are bullish, but there certainly is a lot of trading interest around India. This is the same that we hear from our clients. Everybody wants access \u2014 which happily, we provide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of it is fairly straightforward through SGX, which is your Indian single-stock futures \u2014 which I suppose have all the big names in India \u2014 and also the Rupee-Dollar futures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But coming to the NIFTY futures now \u2014 we had just recently started offering this, and it&#8217;s done tremendously well. I think we see quite a lot of activity going through. But just for the broader audience out there, would you explain what is the GIFT NIFTY Future?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re offering that through the SGX-NSE link. And maybe give us a little bit of what the features and benefits are?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ivan-han-nbsp-1\"><strong>Ivan Han<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So I think, first of all, we are really excited and pleased that IBKR is connected to the GIFT Connect platform that we have and offering the suite of products there to your customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Really, the SGX-NSE GIFT Connect, as we call the platform, is a first-of-its-kind landmark collaboration between the SGX and the NSE to provide access to a unified liquidity pool for trading of Indian derivative products in GIFT City, which is India\u2019s International Financial Services Center located in Gujarat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This became fully operational in July 2023, and it\u2019s since become, I would say, a key gateway for global investors looking to access Indian equity derivatives. So this is a first-of-its-kind financial corridor that we have between Singapore and India.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where investors come to use the GIFT Connect is really to have the ability to trade dollar-denominated derivative products that are listed for trading in GIFT City \u2014 and with the benefit of clearing and settlement being handled by the SGX in Singapore for customers that are coming through the clearing members of the SGX.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives them seamless access to trade Indian equity products on top of all the existing SGX products that they trade across the multi-asset suite of products that we have across equities, commodities, and FX.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other advantage of doing so is not just having the familiarity of a market infrastructure and rules and regulations here in Singapore that they are already familiar with and accustomed to \u2014 but, importantly, from a capital efficiency standpoint, the ability to trade both Indian equity derivative products together with SGX\u2019s shelf of multi-asset products lends them the opportunity to get portfolio and margin efficiencies when they trade multiple products through this platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I think this is unique \u2014 first of its kind \u2014 and we are looking to broaden the access to more customers through trading members like yourselves into trading of these Indian equity products on the GIFT City Connect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yujun-lin-nbsp-2\"><strong>Yujun Lin<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re very pleased to offer, with the SGX, access to Indian assets through the GIFT NIFTY futures. And it\u2019s basically a seamless experience \u2014 same as trading any other SGX future \u2014 and with it comes all the benefits of trading SGX, which is margin efficiency, U.S. dollar denomination, and access to assets that you may not necessarily be able to access elsewhere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I think that\u2019s all we have time for today.
