History

In August of 2012, Cleartrade Exchange signed a memorandum of understanding with Singapore-based Tradex Systems to begin work on the integration of a Chinese-language graphical user interface (GUI) for the CLTX marketplace.[4]

In July of 2012, Cleartrade Exchange launched two new steel derivative contracts as it looked to tap growing demand among foreign companies and investors to get access to the Chinese metals market.[5]

The Cleartrade Exchange Pte Ltd was established in Singapore and operates as a recognized market operator (RMO) for global participants in the OTC commodities market

Products and Services

Cleartrade Exchange is configured to handle execution, straight-through-processing and order confirmation for OTC Commodity derivatives.

In February 2013 the exchange unveiled the Cleartrade Exchange Data Centre (CDC), a web-based service that delivers data transparency on iron ore and freight derivatives markets. The CDC aggregates freight and iron ore swaps and options data from the major clearing houses – SGX Asiaclear, NOS ASA, and LCH.Clearnet – into a single location, enabling users to see daily traded volumes by product as well as high and low prices and open interest on a daily basis.[6]
