Trending SGX call warrant NFUW (https://warrants.com.sg/tools/livematrix/NFUW ) that was listed on 1 April, has gained 37.1% to SGD 0.085 (as of 10AM today on 11 June 2026), almost four times more than SGX’s 10.8% during this period.

As one might already have noted, the SGX call warrant cost a fraction of SGX’s share price and tends to move in greater percentages than the share price due to their gearing effect.

However, one may also wish to note that this geared effect is a double-edged sword, causing the warrants to fall in greater magnitude than the shares should your view be wrong.There is no trending SGX put warrant that is quoted on tight spreads.
