Eurex Quarterly Equity News Q3/2022

Equity derivatives market volatility remains high during Q3

Market wrap-up 

Due to ongoing tightening by central banks across the globe, equity market volatility remains high across index benchmarks and single stock options. Despite the higher volatility and respective opportunities, Eurex observed slightly lower volumes in Q3 vs. Q3 last year. One driver is certainly some lower activities in the structured product market with missing autocalls and existing single- and multi-products below parity.
 
A highlight in Q3 was the IPO of Porsche at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with a market cap of more than 9bio EUR, representing the largest domestic IPO since the Deutsche Telecom IPO in 1996. Just one day after the IPO, Eurex was able to offer listed options and futures on Porsche with quotes by our market makers and first trades by end-clients using listed options to protect positions, buy upside exposure or yield enhancement via covered call writing.
