Singapore Exchange reported its highest half-year profit on Thursday since going public in 2000, aided by strong trading volumes across all its business segments, and flagged robust stock market activity alongside a growing IPO pipeline. The company's net revenue from fixed income, currencies and commodities (FICC) increased 12.5% to S$178.9 million ($140.61 million), accounting for nearly 25.7% of total revenue. The city-state's bourse operator has seen a steady rise in foreign exchange and commodity derivatives volumes, reflecting the volatility in iron ore and currency markets. Singapore Exchange reported an adjusted net profit of S$357.1 million for the six-month period ended December 31, up from S$320.1 million a year earlier. SGX declared an interim quarterly dividend of 11 Singapore cents per share, higher than 9 Singapore cents declared last year.
