Unmatched market efficiency
A cornerstone of our success is the unmatched market efficiency that we provide. Market participants enjoy efficient access to liquidity, a robust global distribution network and unparalleled system performance.
Efficient access to liquidity
Our fully automated markets offer Members immediate access to a wide range of international, highly liquid products, which have proven themselves resilient, especially in volatile markets.
Bid/ask spreads in our benchmark products are routinely one tick wide, and liquidity in many products continues to develop strongly. We have Market Makers in all of our option markets. In addition, new product launches are supported by Designated Market Makers to ensure liquidity right from the start of trading. Members receive market depth of up to 20 levels deep, providing enhanced decision-making information.
Global distribution network and customer diversity
To reduce barriers to membership we have broadened access to our markets, enhancing liquidity for all market participants. Currently, our global distribution network connects more than 400 institutions from 32 countries, with more than 8,000 admitted traders.
System performance
As a pioneer of electronic trading, we anticipate future developments in technology by constantly optimizing the T7-system to accelerate trading speed and throughput. By upgrading system capacity, enhancing real-time information distribution and improving interfaces, we are always one step ahead.
The tripling of system transactions since March 2007 is a testament to the need for continual enhancement. In fact, the average is nearly seven million contracts traded in a single day. Capacity, at over 800 million quotes per day, is not the only thing that Eurex is continually enhancing. By offering the Enhanced Transaction Interface, response time for orders has been reduced to six milliseconds.
