    India’s National Stock Exchange’s (NSE) concerns over migration of trading in Nifty 50 futures to Singapore resulted in a series of actions by the NSE and the Singapore Exchange (SGX), culminating in suspension of trading rights for the Nifty 50 futures on the SGX, a court action and an eventual referral to arbitration. The arbitration award is to be announced on 16 June 2018. The SGX and the NSE have a mutually beneficial relationship that has lasted decades. There is too much at stake to allow the current disagreement to hamper a partnership that holds considerable promise for the future.
