SGX has introduced random endings to the Pre-Open and Pre-Close phases of the Opening and Closing Routines to mitigate risks of pre-opening and pre-closing price manipulation. This means that the market will close at any time within a specified interval rather than at a designated time.

Full Day Trading Half Day Trading * The Pre-Open/Close phase ends randomly at any time within this one-minute window and the Non-Cancel phase begins immediately after.

From 13 November 2017, there will be a mid-day trading break from 1200h to 1300h, during which orders will not be matched but participants may enter, amend or cancel orders. An indicative equilibrium price (IEP) will be published to provide an indication of the market level during the break, which ends with an auction. Continuous trading resumes at 1pm.

This change addresses the preference of some market participants for shorter trading hours while retaining significant overlap in trading hours with key markets in Asia. The break also allows trading representatives to engage their clients or for issuers to make announcements during this period.

For more information on mid-day break, please refer to SGX website here.

With effect from 3 June 2019, SGX will be introducing a new "Trade at Close" (TAC) session. The 10-minute-long TAC session will immediately follow the closing auction routine and will allow participants to execute orders at the Closing Auction Price (CAP) set during the closing auction routine.

The extended trading phase, TAC, will enable participants to transact at an already-established closing price. Investors and brokers who desire price certainty or those looking to fill an order that was not completely transacted during the closing routine will benefit from the new TAC session.

The TAC session will occur at 5.06pm to 5.16pm on a regular trading day and from 12.06pm to 12.16pm if the market is trading for half a day.

A closing auction is a commonly used trading mechanism which allows trades to be executed at the closing price. During a closing auction, market participants may input buy and sell orders, with the price that most volume can be traded at forming the closing price. All orders will then be executed at that price.

For the securities markets, the market closing time will change from 16:00 to a random closing of anytime between 16:08 and 16:10 for a normal trading day. It will change from 12:00 to a random closing of anytime between 12:08 and 12:10 for a half day trading.

For the derivatives market, the closing times of normal trading sessions for Stock Index Futures and Options, Currency Futures and Commodity Futures will change from 16:15 to 16:30 for a normal trading day and from 12:00 to 12:30 for a half trading day, except on the last trading day of the contracts. The opening time of After-Hours Futures Trading will change from 17:00 to 17:15.

In addition, trading hours on the last trading day, the final settlement price calculation algorithm and typhoon arrangements will also change accordingly.

In the first period (Reference Price Fixing Period, 4:00-4:01 pm), a reference price, which sets the allowable price limit of the CAS (±5 per cent from the reference price), is calculated for each CAS security. The reference price is determined by taking the median of 5 nominal prices in the last minute of the CTS.

In the second period (Order Input Period, 4:01-4:06 pm), at-auction orders and at-auction limit orders within the ±5 per cent price limit can be entered, amended or cancelled.

Starting from the third period (No-Cancellation Period, 4:06-4:08 pm), at-auction orders and at-auction limit orders can be entered. However, the prices of new at-auction limit orders must be between the lowest ask and highest bid of the order book, and no orders can be amended or cancelled.

In the last period (Random Closing Period, 4:08-4:10 pm), the order rules from the No-Cancellation period apply and the market closes randomly within two minutes. After the period, there's order matching for all CAS securities. In cases where no closing price is established during the CAS, the reference price would become the closing price. This price would also be used for order matching based on matching priority, i.e. by order type, price and then time.
