NYSE Euronext’s (NYSE Euronext: NYX) Global Index Group today announced the 2009 performance of its benchmark indices.
This report is a part of a regular series by NYSE Euronext’s Global Index Group and utilizes the exchange’s recently integrated systems and new business development initiatives.
Accomplishments 2009
In 2009, the NYSE Euronext’s Global Index Group added 25 new indices. These new indices included the NYSE Euronext Iberian Index, which covers the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). Several new indices were also introduced that support trading strategies around the main proprietary indices, CAC 40 and AEX. In the spring, the equal-weighted indices came to the market, while later in the year dividend point indices (DI) were launched for the CAC 40 and AEX. In December, a futures contract based on the CAC DI was introduced and an AEX DI version is expected soon.
In the U.S., 5 new indices were either released or in last stages of development: four NYSE Current Treasury Indices and the Junior Gold BUGS Index is expected shortly.
Highlights index performances
The full list of index performances for 2009 is predominantly green, indicating a year of recovery. The CAC 40-index gained 22.32% in 2009, while Amsterdam’s AEX-index was the strongest of the main indices rising 36.35% over the whole year, with a very strong December month of +9.62%. The NYSE Composite Index gained 24.80%, outpacing the S&P 500, over the full year 2009. The NYSE Arca Computer Hardware (+132%) and NYSE ARCA Disk Drive (+124%) indices in the US showed a remarkable performance in 2009.
