The Stuttgart Stock Exchange sees a turnover of more than EUR 7 billion for July
Growth of some 474 percent for Euro government bonds / Heavy demand for exchange traded funds continues
August 2, 2010--According to its order book statistics, Boerse Stuttgart had a turnover of EUR 7.2 billion in July 2010. This means an increase of more than 4 percent in comparison with the previous month. Investment certificates above all (EUR 1.6 billion) accounted for the biggest proportion of turnover.
Demand for German State bonds also remained buoyant. In addition to German Federal Government bonds, investors were mainly interested in bonds from the Eurozone countries and from emerging markets. Trade in Euro government bonds grew by around 474 percent in a year-on-year comparison (January to July).
Trading volumes for derivates were down on the previous month as volumes generally tend to be thinner during the summer. They nevertheless remained at a very high level, with turnover reaching a little over EUR 3.7 billion. In a year-on-year comparison (January to July) Boerse Stuttgart recorded even a slight increase of around 6 percent. Bonus certificates proved to be particularly popular in July, and Boerse Stuttgart saw a rise of about 19 percent in these securities in comparison with the previous month.
In equities trading the first half of the year saw heavy demand for solar stocks and financials above all. With a turnover growth edging on 80 percent for international equities and an increase of almost 46 percent for equities as a whole during the first seven months, the signs are clearly positive for trading in company shares.
Trading volumes for investment funds in July amounted to some EUR 566 million in total. This is equivalent to a growth of 17 percent in comparison with the previous month. The popularity of exchange traded funds (ETFs), with almost 45 percent growth in a year-on-year comparison, is evidence of the steadily rising interest shown by investors in these passively traded funds. Trading volumes for ETFs in July 2010 amounted to almost EUR 500 million.

Eurozone inflation rises sharply to 1.7 per cent
July 30, 2010--- Inflation in the 16-nation eurozone is expected to rise sharply to 1.7 percent in July, the EU forecast on Friday, although analysts saw no cause for alarm citing still-record unemployment.
If confirmed, the latest European Union forecast would mark the highest twelve-month inflation figure since November 2008, when it stood at 2.1 percent -- just above the European Central Bank's core economic target.
The rate had slipped to 1.4 percent in June, but has risen almost continuously from 0.5 percent last November as the bloc emerged from the worst recession since the 1930s.
Martin van Vliet, an economist with Dutch-based ING bank, suspected a rebound in energy price inflation and a further pick-up in food price inflation were responsible, plus rises in VAT in Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Finland.
