Eurex Exchange's Quarterly Equity Derivatives Highlights - Q3/2018
Eurex Exchange is home to the broadest range of pan-European single stock options and futures with a product offering of more than 750 equity options and 800 single stock futures from more than 10 countries. This equity derivatives update covers the highlights of the latest quarter. The overall trend is clear. Although special events or major market moves may be the reason behind a specific volume increase, investors are increasingly bringing their business to a liquid, pan-European platform where they benefit from having a 'single point of entry'. This enables investors to profit from cross-border margin efficiencies, a single rulebook, as well as a consistent settlement and exercise methodology.
The Spanish product segment highlights the continuous pan-European growth in the third quarter. Spanish single equity options volume grew by 30% compared to Q3/2017, while the Spanish single stock futures increased by 500%.
