Deutsche Boerse’s derivatives arm Eurex expands line of industry index futures contracts. As of today, Eurex launched its first semiconductor index futures contract.

Eurex thus responds to the growing importance of the semiconductor industry in recent years.

In partnership with Deutsche Boerse’s ISS STOXX index provider, Eurex has developed an index covering the 30 largest US-listed global semiconductor companies. This includes Nvidia, one of the most popular stocks in this industry recently.

The index is a USD based price performance index and was recently released. The STOXX Semiconductor 30 Index Futures will trade around the clock from 1:00am CET (8am Hong Kong / Singapore) to 10:15pm CET, also covering the full trading day in the US and Asia. The product launch will be supported by a system of liquidity providers, offering regular discounts and revenue sharing elements from day one.

Randolf Roth, Eurex Executive Board Member:

“Recent global uncertainties have prompted nations to prioritize the safe production and distribution of semiconductors. Consequently, STOXX Semiconductor 30 index futures reflect the growing appetite for semiconductors as a new investment theme. We see significant demand from Asia in particular, as Taiwanese companies are well represented in the index.”

Axel Lomholt, CEO of STOXX:

“The STOXX Semiconductor 30 Index represents the leading companies in a fast-growing industry, all carefully selected through a rules-based and transparent methodology. Our great partnership with Eurex reflects an amazing opportunity to further enrich the derivatives market, particularly across themes and sectors, leveraging our innovative index-based solutions.”
