Eurex Quarterly Equity News Q2/2021
Market wrap-up
Eurex’s single stock segment recorded considerable growth across all segments in Q2 2021 compared to Q2 last year. Large sector positioning and respective trades drove the volumes in European banks underlyings across all regions with significant volume increases in Deutsche Bank, Banco Santander, Credit Suisse and Unicredit options. Growth in the French, Dutch, Italian and Spanish underlyings drove the single stock futures and the single stock dividend futures segment. Especially the quarterly expiries in single stock dividend futures, which offer a precise hedging tool to reduce dividend risk, showed robust volume increases.
