Cash market turnover sees significant rise in March; Xetra auctions key driving force

April 3, 2017--Turnover on Deutsche Börse's cash markets totalled €135.7 billion in March, a significant increase on the €120.9 billion seen in the same month of 2016.

This increase was largely driven by the daily auctions in Xetra trading, which are held at opening, midday and end of trading. Order book turnover in auctions provided 52 percent of the total daily cash market volume on March 17, for example, thanks to the fact that this was a key expiry date for many equity futures contracts. The March 17 closing auction on its own provided 43 per cent of the total turnover that day.
