Deutsche Boerse expands its European network

May 24, 2012--Deutsche Boerse continues to expand its high-performance network. The company announced today that it will set up an additional access point to its global trading network in the Equinix ZH4 data centre in Zurich.

This access should be ready for use in the third quarter. SIX Swiss Exchange already uses the Zurich data centre operated by Equinix as a co-location centre for its customers.

Customers of the Eurex international derivatives market as well as the Xetra cash market will both benefit from connection of this Zurich data centre to the Deutsche Börse network infrastructure through an even greater reduction in latency. Latency is, moreover, also reduced for SIX Swiss Exchange customers connected via the Deutsche Börse network. Deutsche Börse expects an average latency of 2.6 milliseconds for the Zurich-Frankfurt connection and 6.9 milliseconds for the Zurich-London connection in the future. The new Equinix ZH4 data centre access point also offers customers the opportunity to efficiently link their respective installations in Frankfurt and Zurich via the low latency network connections provided by Deutsche Börse.

Finansinspektionen -Market Risks Management

May 24, 2012--During 2011, Finansinspektionen (FI) investigated how 11 financial companies market risks management. 'Market risk' refers to the risk of loss-incurring value changes in assets and liabilities due to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, stock prices and commodity prices.

Market risks often arise during normal business transactions, e.g. within client-driven trade or during lending/borrowing transactions. In some cases, companies actively expose themselves to market risks in order to earn money, which is referred to as ‘proprietary trading’. To a certain extent, companies can choose the level of market risk exposure via hedging, an investment strategy used to mitigate or eliminate risk.
