Hong Kong Exchange (HKEx) reported fiscal year 2013 adjusted diluted earnings per share of HKD3.94 (+5% y/y), with total revenues at HKD 8,131m (+26% y/y), total operating expenses at HKD 2,777 (+42% y/y).

The trade, for delivery in the third quarter, was concluded between EDF Trading and Gunvor International and matched by the broker GFI Securities, Platts reported.

 

The Korean Exchange (KRX) Chairman Choi Kyung-soo stated that “given sluggish trading, it would be best not to impose taxes” on derivatives trading, but should it be unavoidable, he recommends levying capital gains tax instead.

 

Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX) is looking to collaborate with a major derivatives player, and is also considering whether to list international products on its exchange, according to FOW Intelligence.

 

SEC Commissioner Kara Stein urged the commission to finalize derivatives rules this year, “including the cross-border application of our rules and our business conduct rules”, MLEX reported.
