The trading sessions of global indices and commodities begin and end at various times throughout our day. As a consequence it can be difficult to interpret how the official net change of a particular index, commodity or currency relates to the re-opening of the Singaporean market.
IG Markets now provides a solution with Overnight Prices. This quotes the net change of the world's major indices and commodities from the close of the previous SGX session at 17.15.
