Singapore’s Straits Financial Taps FX Trading Tech Provider Integral for Gold Trading Operations

Straits Financial Services has expanded its technology
partnership with Integral, extending operations to the SG1 data center in
Singapore as it strengthens its presence in Asia’s fast-growing precious metals
markets.

The Singapore-based brokerage said the expansion will
enhance execution and pricing across both FX and precious metals products,
reflecting rising demand for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium in the
region.

Improved Access to Liquidity

The upgrade also supports more competitive pricing for
clients through improved access to liquidity. Integral’s platform allows
Straits Financial to convert gold prices from ounces to grams or kilograms,
aligning with local trading practices.

The firm can also benchmark prices in local
currencies, improving pricing transparency and risk management.

“We have experienced firsthand the substantial impact
Integral’s tech can have,” said Susan Quek, Vice President and Head of Sales at
Straits Financial. “This milestone underscores our commitment to delivering the
highest quality service to our growing client base across Asia.”

The expansion builds on a relationship first
established in 2019. Straits Financial initially used Integral’s technology for
FX trading and risk management and has since added precious metals as demand
for the asset class grows.

Gold Prices Soar

Gold prices have reached record highs in 2025, fueling
increased trading activity across Asia. Straits Financial’s move suggests a
broader trend among regional brokers upgrading infrastructure to compete in a
more active metals market.
