On the first trading day following the institutional improvement of the single stock options market, the Korea Exchange (KRX) recorded 2,142 contracts and thus resumed the trading successfully after the lapse of 3 years and 4 months since July 2011. Particularly, the single stock options of Hyundai Motors (1,070 contracts) and POSCO (312 contracts) were actively traded. A key contributor to such active trading was the role of market makers who submitted bid and ask quotations, based on which investors could buy or sell single stock options at a market price when they wanted. Continuous supply of liquidity by market makers would enable investors to conduct hedge/arbitrage trading by using single stock options whenever they want.
