Source: LeapRate
Derivatives marketplace CME Group and Nasdaq announced plans for launching new futures contract on the Nasdaq-100 Volatility Index (VOLQ). CME Group will introduce the new Nasdaq-100 Volatility Index futures contracts on 5 October, pending regulatory approval.
We’re pleased to further build on our longstanding, successful relationship with Nasdaq to offer these new futures contracts on the innovative Nasdaq-100 Volatility Index. VOLQ futures respond directly to growing demand for tools to hedge portfolio volatility exposure or trade at-the-money volatility on a leading global benchmark equity index, the Nasdaq-100. Additionally, they will complement our deeply liquid Nasdaq futures and options product line, including the benchmark E-mini and Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 contracts.
The Nasdaq-100 index tracks the world's most innovative companies and has shown incredible strength and resilience through its outstanding performance. The VOLQ index enables investors to track Nasdaq-100 volatility, and CME Group's launch of VOLQ futures is a great step in bringing more innovative products around market volatility to investors.
