July monthly figures at Eurex and EEX
July monthly figures at Eurex and EEX
July saw a decrease in the number of traded derivatives contracts at Eurex while OTC Clearing, and the Eurex Repo Market showed strong growth.
All classes of financial derivatives at Eurex recorded declines in the number of contracts traded in July 2020 compared to July 2019, with the largest fall coming in European equity derivatives. Here, the ongoing uncertainty made dividend pricing still a challenge.
The OTC Clearing space reports mostly positive figures. Notional outstanding volumes were up 53% in July 2020 compared to the same month last year. While average daily cleared volumes declined by 13% primarily driven by reduced volumes in Forward Rate Agreements, interest rate swaps were a solid performer, with average daily cleared volumes up 27% year-on-year.
Eurex Repo Market business grew 37% year-on-year in July, with 86.9 billion EUR of average term-adjusted volume compared to 63.6 billion EUR in July 2019.
EEX, the Leipzig-based commodity exchange group, posted declines across the majority of its product suite – global power trading volumes decreased by 2 % year-on-year and natural gas trading slowed down significantly in July.
