Average daily volume of 13 million contracts at Eurex Group in May

Eurex Exchange: growing volume of interest rate derivatives segment/Eurex Repo: continues to grow in all markets year-on-year
June 1, 2011--In May 2011, the international derivatives exchanges of Eurex Group recorded an average daily volume of 12.9 million contracts (May 2010: 16.2 million). Of those, 10.0 million were Eurex Exchange contracts (May 2010: 12.2 million), and 2.9 million contracts (May 2010: 4.0 million) were traded at the U.S.-based International Securities Exchange (ISE).

The decline of Eurex Exchange volume y-o-y – which peaked in May 2010 – is due to the lower volatility compared with May 2010 and the adjustment of contract specification of equity derivatives. In total, 219.7 million contracts were traded at Eurex Exchange and 60.6 million at ISE.

Eurex Exchange traded 64.3 million equity index derivatives contracts (May 2010: 101.4 million). The single largest contract was the future on the EURO STOXX 50® Index with 28.3 million contracts. The option on this blue chip index totaled 24.8 million contracts. Futures on the DAX index recorded 3.1 million contracts while the DAX options reached another 5.2 million contracts.

Demand for Rhodium robust after first ETF

June 1, 2011--The price of rhodium, a little-traded metal prized by the car industry for its qualities as a catalyst, has jumped 20 per cent in the past week after the launch of the first investment vehicle to hold physical rhodium.

Deutsche Bank last week launched an exchange traded fund backed by rhodium on the London Stock Exchange, the first product to allow investors exposure to physical rhodium. Similar products for physical gold, silver, platinum and palladium have been hugely successful in recent years, helping drive prices higher. There is currently more than $100bn invested in such products.

Cash market to open at 8 a.m. from June

L/E-DAX is already calculated from 8 a.m.
May 31, 2011-- The Frankfurt Stock Exchange will be opening an hour earlier from 1 June. Investors will then be able to buy and sell shares, funds and ETFs through Xetra specialists from as early as 8 a.m. Trading via specialists will end at 8 p.m. as usual.

By expanding its service for investors, Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse (FWB®, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange) is taking an important step towards improving price quality in German early trading. This is because the opening of the most important market for German equities will considerably improve the liquidity in trading before 9 a.m., which in turn may have a positive effect on price ranges. Traditional Xetra trading will continue to operate between 9 a.m. and 5.30 p.m.

Bonds are excluded from the earlier start of trading, as these are predominantly bought and sold in off-exchange interbank trading, and these reference markets are not available before 9 a.m.

The most important barometer for the German equities market in evening trading, the L-DAX (ISIN DE0001717049), which was previously calculated from 5.30 p.m. to 8 p.m., will additionally be calculated from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. as of June, and re-named L/E-DAX. The "L" stands for "late", the "E" stands for "early". There is no change to the ISIN.

Europe may introduce new OTC directive before end of reprieve

May 31, 2011-- Pension funds could see legislation regulating their use of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives introduced prior to the end of the three-year reprieve, a partner of law firm Sackers has said.

Speaking after the European Parliament's Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee last week passed an amendment that would see pension funds exempt from the new derivatives legislation for up to three years, Andrew Bradshaw said the directive could have otherwise caused a "real headache" for UK lawmakers.
