Deutsche Börse Sees Positive Trend in OTC Clearing at Eurex in February

Deutsche Börse Group, a leading German marketplace organizer for the trading of shares and other securities, reported its February 2021 figures at Eurex, with OTC Clearing keeping strong performance.

Specifically, notional outstanding volume grew by 10 percent year-on-year to EUR 19,903 billion in February 2021 while average daily cleared volume increased by 15 percent across the same period. 

Longer dated interest rate swaps saw the largest increase, up 44 percent – from EUR 12 billion in February 2020 to EUR 18 billion in February 2021.

European interest rate derivatives also continued their positive trend with a 7 percent year-on-year increase in February. 

In contrast, equity and equity index derivatives declined by 13 percent and 43 percent, respectively. This was to be expected due to the pandemic-related increase in market volatility in February 2020.
