SINGAPORE Feb 28 (Reuters) - Singapore Mercantile Exchange (SMX) said on Monday that global brokerage Newedge has signed up as a general clearing member of the bourse.

Newedge is a 50/50 joint venture between Societe Generale and Credit Agricole CIB.

SMX, controlled by India's Financial Technologies , was launched on Aug. 31 last year and currently trades euro-denominated oil futures, as well as gold and euro-dollar futures.

The bourse said last month it plans to introduce an iron ore futures contract in the second quarter. (Reporting by Manolo Serapio Jr;Editing by Ed Lane,sourced:Thomson Reuters)
