The market interest in German and international equity options continues to rise steadily, as the derivatives exchange reported. In 2002, Eurex is showing 14 percent growth in the volume of options traded on German equities compared with the same period of 2001. With the new equity option on Altana, Eurex now offers 119 equity options on international blue chips, 44 of them on German equities. Eurex has already traded and cleared some 95 million contracts in its equity options segment this year.
Eurex is also offering informative events for private investors in Germany and Switzerland again this year.
At these events, private investors can learn about options and futures and how to use them. More information about the events and how to register for them can be found at: http://www.eurexchange.com/top/workshop.html
