Average Traded Volume July 216 SGX China Equity Index Derivatives Monthly Commentary Market Overview Chinese A-share benchmark indices CSI3 Index and FTSE China A5 Index gained 1.6% and 1.5% respectively in July. The indices have risen 2.7% and 2.2% respectively since June 23, when the U.K. voted to leave the European Union, placing China s stock market among the world s best post-brexit performers. SGX FTSE China A5 index futures traded 5,23,74 contracts in July. Average daily volume fell 6% month-on-month to 239,194 contracts. The contract enjoyed a robust roll market in July. Month-end open interest grew 12% month-on-month to 623,643 contracts, or approximately US$6b in notional value, as customers continued to look to the futures contract for their hedging needs. SGX MSCI China Index Futures, which tracks the MSCI China Free Index, a subset of the MSCI EM Index, traded a total of 3,782 contracts in July. Investors trading the SGX FTSE China A5 and MSCI China futures contract can enjoy up to 6% in margin discounts. China s financial sector was in the limelight in late July, as news of tight regulatory scrutiny over wealth management products and the downgrading of 57 Chinese brokerages in a CSRC s 216 rating report exerted selling pressure on China s financial stocks. 7, 6, 5, SGX FTSE China A5 Index Futures Volume & Open Interest Daily Average Volume 7, 6, 5, July 216 Average Bid Offer Spread and Traded Volume 3, 25, 2, 15, 1, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, T 2, 2, Volume Spread 1, 1, Source: SGX and Bloomberg (data as of 29 July 216) T + 1

The contract saw a strong roll in July, with open interest growing 12% month-on-month to 623,643 contracts (US$5.9b) as of end July. The contract has attracted long-term investors and hedgers with positions going out to June 217. Hedging cost for cash investors has reduced significantly as futures prices come closer to fair value, following a period of extreme market volatility. In July, the SGX FTSE China A5 futures calendar spread market narrowed to almost par. As shown in the Bloomberg page below, SGX s futures calendar spread contracts are actively quoted and traded throughout the month. Supported by a wide base of institutional traders, the bid/offer spread averages less than 3 basis points (1 tick spread).

Chinese equity market was among the top performers immediately post Brexit. Having a market semi-closed to foreigners helped insulate its shares from global turmoil. From the Brexit announcement to end July, Chinese A-shares rallied close to 3%, providing some respite for investors who ve endured a 4% percent plunge in the Chinese equity market since last year s peak and MSCI s refusal in June to add China A-shares into its benchmark indices. MSCI China Free Index SM, which consists of overseas listed Chinese shares including Hong Kong listed H-shares, P chips, Red chips and U.S. listed ADRs gained close to 4% by end July. SGX has recently launched futures and options contracts based on the MSCI China Free Index SM, offering investors exposure to new industries driving China s economic growth. Unlike the Hang Seng China Enterprise Index (HSCEI) which has no exposure to the IT sector, MSCI China Free index SM has a broad representation of sectors including financial, IT and consumer companies. 5% Index Returns Post Brexit (23 Jun - 29 July 216) 4% 3% 2% 1% % -1% -2%

The currency was then promptly defended as PBOC strengthened the Yuan and kept it within the 6.62 to 6.7 range. Trading of SGX USD/CNH futures remained robust since April with a competitive bid-ask spread and increasing market participants and volumes. The contract enjoys a 2% margin offset with the SGX FTSE China A5 futures contract. 53 Caixin China Manufacturing PMI SA (MOM) 2.2 China GDP Constant Price SA (QoQ) China Import and Export Trade Balance (USD Billions) 6.8 USDCNH Currency China Economic Events Source: Bloomberg Date Event Period Economist Survey Median Prior 9-Aug-16 CPI YoY July 1.8% 1.9% 9-Aug-16 PPI YoY July -2.% -2.6% 12-Aug-16 Industrial Production YoY July 6.2% 6.2% 12-Aug-16 Retail Sales YoY July 1.5% 1.6% Source: Bloomberg (data as of 8 August 216)
