Description (Please provide a detailed description of the event in the box below)
- Award reflects record growth and continued strengthening of global benchmark contracts

SGX Commodities was again named Commodity Exchange of the Year at the Energy Risk Asia Awards 2025, reaffirming its position as Asia's trusted hub for global price discovery, risk management and innovation in global commodities markets.

The accolade comes in a year of heightened volatility, shifting trade flows and accelerating energy transition, where SGX distinguished itself by deepening liquidity, expanding its ecosystem and entrenching global benchmarks.

SGX's flagship 62% Iron Ore total volumes surged to 5.7 billion metric tons for FY2025[1], nearly four times the physical market, and secured inclusion in the Dow Jones Commodity Index, a milestone that cements its role as a key reference contract in commodities markets. To further enhance accessibility, SGX also introduced Trade-at-Settlement functionality, expanding the tools available to index-based investors.

Growth extended across the board. For FY2025, petrochemical derivatives volumes climbed more than 70%, and SGX SICOM rubber captured 90% of the international market with daily notional values above US$100 million. SGX also expanded its freight suite with the launch of new contracts tailored to evolving shipping and risk management needs. SGX "Virtual Steel Mill" and "Virtual Electric Vehicle" ecosystems gained momentum, offering integrated hedging solutions for industries adapting to decarbonisation and electrification.

William Chin, Head of Commodities, SGX Group, said, "Being recognised once again reflects the trust that global market participants place in SGX Commodities as their partner for managing risk and navigating change. From strengthening our flagship iron ore contract to pioneering green and petrochemical benchmarks, we are proud to provide transparent, innovative solutions supporting global commodities markets."
