SGX FX, Sumitomo Mitshi Banking Corp
Singapore-based foreign exchange SGX FX has added Japan’s Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp (SMBC) as a liquidity provider.

SMBC was the first “mega bank” in Japan to stream prices directly to SGX FX clients; it now extends this to SGX CurrencyNode, an electronic communication network operated by SGX FX.

Among other benefits, the partnership provides investors with improved access to Japan’s financial markets at a time when the Asian country’s economy has been winning plaudits after decades of sluggish growth.

SGX FX says it offers a “gateway” to the global FX market.
