CME Clearing Europe Announces Launch Of European Clearing Services - Initial Products Are Energy, Rapeseed Oil And Freight

March 15, 2011--CME Clearing Europe, a wholly-owned London-based subsidiary of CME Group, today announced that it will begin clearing more than 150 over the counter (OTC) energy and commodity derivative products beginning Friday, 6 May.

"The start of clearing at CME Clearing Europe is timely in light of the need for enhanced risk management in commodity markets and the imminent legislative change mandating the clearing of OTC derivatives," said Andrew Lamb, Chief Executive Officer of CME Clearing Europe. "While the initial focus of our product expansion will be on commodity products – energy, metals and agricultural – we aim to introduce clearing for OTC financial derivatives, beginning with interest rate swaps, in parallel with the deepening of the commodity clearing. Our goal is to offer a full multi-asset OTC clearing service, building on CME Group's clearing experience as well as its established and growing European presence."

Eurozone keeps close eye on inflation threat to growth

March 14, 2011-- Eurozone governments agreed Monday to keep a very close eye on rising inflation amid fears it threatens growth in the 17-nation single currency area.

The head of eurozone finance ministers, Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, blamed the inflationary pressure primarily on a "considerable" rise in commodity prices.

After ministers met in Brussels, he said it was important to prevent a wider rise in prices and salaries "which could spark generalised inflationary tensions in the medium term."

Latin America the focus for latest HSBC ETF offerings

HSBC has launched further exchange-traded funds with the announcement of two Latin American equity propositions
March 14, 2011--The HSBC MSCI EM Latin America ETF aims to replicate the performance of the MSCI EM Latin America Net Total Return Index.
The HSBC MSCI Mexico Capped ETF was launched on 4 March with the aim of replicating the performance of the MSCI Mexico Capped Net Total Return Index.

Both ETFs will use physical replication to track their respective indices - as is the case with all HSBC ETFs launched to date - investing in securities in the same proportions as the relevant index. As one distinction between the two the Latin America product may not take exposure to all securities in the index and will instead use a technique known as ‘optimisation’ to replicate performance.
They are both listed on the London Stock Exchange in sterling and US dollar trading currencies.
