SGX FX has announced that Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) has joined the SGX FX ecosystem as a Liquidity Provider, expanding institutional access to FX options and enhancing liquidity across CAD, USD and other major global currency markets. CIBC will initially provide liquidity in OTC FX Options, with plans to extend its participation into OTC cash FX over time. This addition enhances depth and competition in FX options trading on SGX FX, supporting robust price formation across CAD and USD pairs, alongside a broader range of actively traded G10 and selected emerging market currencies, for institutional participants trading across global sessions.
CIBC is a leading North American financial institution with 15 million personal banking, business, public sector and institutional clients and operates a global FX franchise.
The addition of CIBC further broadens the SGX FX liquidity ecosystem, particularly in FX options and core Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar markets that are central to macro, hedging and relative value strategies. Looking ahead, SGX FX and CIBC expect to continue developing the relationship across additional FX products, supporting continued expansion of liquidity provision and execution choice for institutional clients.
“CIBC’s decision to join the SGX FX ecosystem strengthens our institutional liquidity network across key markets. Their initial focus on OTC FX Options, combined with a clear path toward cash FX, enhances liquidity and execution quality across a broad range of currency pairs and supports our commitment to serving sophisticated trading and hedging activity across regions and time zones”, said Scott Gold, Head of Americas, SGX FX.
