We upgraded our rating on Singapore Excange (SGX) to ‘BUY’ on 10 Apr 2025 given our expectations that it would be a beneficiary of the heavier-than-average trading volume on the local bourse, coupled with a pullback in its share price then given broad equity market weakness from the tariff situation.

The value of shares traded was exceptionally high on 7 Apr (S$4.2b) and 8 Apr (S$3.5b), which were days after the “Liberation Day” tariff announcements by US President Trump. We expect such high trading activity to directly benefit SGX.
On an average daily basis, the value of shares traded on the Singapore Exchange came in at S$2.03b, S$1.47b, S$1.47b and S$1.03b for Apr (up till 25 Apr), Mar, Feb and Jan 2025, which were 68.8%, 24.7%, 18.4% and 11.9% higher as compared to the S$1.20b, S$1.18b, S$1.24b and S$0.92b recorded in Apr, Mar, Feb and Jan 2024.
