Turnover In The Segment RMX Commodities Surpasses That Of The Previous Year

Date 01/08/2006

Last month, the market participants traded 14,417 contracts in the segment RMX Commodities. Thus they improved the previous record of 6,395 contracts of February 2001. Moreover, the trading volume of the first seven months of almost 30,000 contracts is today already almost 5,000 contracts above the total volume of last year.

The positive figures are decisively due to the RMX European Processing Potato Future: With an open interest of 2,555 contracts (as of 31 July) and an average daily volume of 550 contracts, it is the most successful contract at the moment. On record days, its development led to daily volumes in excess of 1,000 contracts across all products.
