SINGAPORE, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Straits Financial Services Pte Ltd (SFSPL) has successfully participated in the launch of CME Group's Spodumene CIF China (Fastmarkets) Futures. The launch of Spodumene futures is due to the rising global demand for lithium, which has emerged as an indispensable mineral for the electrical vehicle (EV) and renewable energy sectors. SFSPL continues to lead in promoting key and innovative contracts to support the financial and commodity derivative markets, providing global access with a local perspective.

"The launch of Spodumene futures is the latest milestone in the growth of the battery sector and we are pleased to be one of the first participants into these markets," highlighted Mr Roger Quek, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Straits Financial Services Pte Ltd. "Our clients continue to seek exposure to essential raw materials in the energy transition and CME Group's suite of products provide the most liquid and efficient way to access these markets today."

Spodumene futures will serve as a critical price risk management tool, enabling market participants to hedge against fluctuating prices or diversify their portfolios with one of the most vital raw materials in the energy transition.

"As one of the leading commodity traders in the industrial metals space, we are pleased to be one of the first to trade the Spodumene futures," said Ms Amanda Xiong, General Manager at Wooray Commodities Pte Ltd. "Battery fabrication is rapidly growing and having access to CME Group's suite of lithium products will provide additional capabilities for our clients."

Given the current dynamics of the global economy, as markets continue to evolve rapidly, with shifting regulatory environments, emerging technologies, and increasing investor sophistication, trading participation like this can serve as a critical factor in maintaining stability and confidence.
