Eurex Quarterly Equity News Q3/2020
Market wrap-up
Q3 trading boundaries narrowed following the tremendous volatility in Q1 and the subsequent recovery rally in Q2. Consequently, volumes and risk appetite were lower than in previous periods. Uncertainty surrounding dividends and earnings decreased slightly, but there are sectors where uncertainty still holds, especially amid an increase of COVID-19 cases and new restrictions across Europe.
