Our STOXX® products experienced a strong February

February 2016 was again another successful month regarding our derivatives on STOXX® Sectors, Broadbased & Size Indexes.

  • Following the positive trend in terms of traded volume and open interest from last year, the EURO STOXX® Banks Futures (FESB) had a new record month with nearly 3.5 million traded contracts, ranking no. 2 after the EURO STOXX 50® Index Futures (FESX). The open interest remained high with over 680.000 contracts.
  • The related EURO STOXX® Banks Options (OESB) have particularly well performed with 2.2 million traded contracts. The open interest cracked the 2.5 million contracts mark on 1 March.
  • The STOXX® Europe 600 Index Future (FXXP) further strengthens its position as a pan-European benchmark with contracts growing fast in non-roll months. After January, February 2016 was again a strong month in terms of traded volume with more than 700.000 futures contracts traded (170.000 contracts in February 2015).
