Euronext announced on Monday that it would be launching daily options on the CAC 40 index in response to growing demand from institutional investors.
The stock market operator explains that this instrument has the advantage of enabling investors to hedge against surprise market fluctuations as part of their short-term trading strategy.
Following the success since 2008 of daily options on the AEX, which now account for a significant proportion of contract volumes on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange's flagship index, investors will now be able to trade options on individual stocks belonging to the CAC.
Trading in these European-style options closes daily at 5:30pm, following the close of each trading session.
With this new tool, investors can trade options on French blue-chips in the central order book, with lives ranging from one day to five years.
