SGX Says Not Exploring or Considering Bid for Cboe Australia

Singapore Exchange Ltd. said it’s not considering buying Cboe Global Markets Inc.’s Australian unit, refuting an earlier Australian Financial Review report.

“The speculation reported in the AFR article and other media articles is inaccurate. SGX Group is not exploring or considering an acquisition of Cboe Australia,” a spokesperson for the exchange said. Cboe Australia earlier declined to comment on the AFR report.
