Today, Acuiti and Singapore Exchange (SGX Group) release the Q2 2025 installment of the SGX Global Market Sentiment Index, a barometer for the global derivatives industry.
The Sentiment Index is based on a quarterly poll of Acuiti’s Expert Networks, comprising senior, derivatives-focused executives from hedge funds, asset managers, proprietary trading firms and the sell-side.
Each quarter, Acuiti surveys Expert Network members on their outlook for the next three months to compile the benchmark, also drawing on data compiled by Acuiti over the past 12 months to build the historic data.
The report provides a temperature check on sentiment across the market, with an analysis of what is driving change across company types.
This report found that sentiment across global derivatives markets remained historically high despite a slight decline this quarter. Sentiment was highest among sell-side clearing executives for the second consecutive quarter in the wake of record daily volumes.
