The IOMA Board kindly stepped up to reorganize the program where/when necessary. We have reprinted the program here as it was on the eve of the Conference, to share the program ideas as they were intended to be developed.

International Association of Options Exchanges and Clearing Houses (IOMA/IOCA)

IOMA was founded an association of options markets and clearinghouses around the world. It includes most of the major exchanges trading options on equities, equity indexes, debt instruments, currencies and commodities. Since its affiliating with WFE in 2002, IOMA has widened its scope to include futures and commodity trading.

IOMA conducts the annual survey of options markets, and maintains a directory of IOMA members. Between annual meetings, a Board of Directors consisting of eight members governs the association.

Membership

Membership in IOMA is open to regulated exchanges and clearinghouses that trade and clear options and futures contracts. Regulated futures exchanges have also belonged and participated for years. New members are elected as part of the annual meeting. Membership in IOMA is automatically included for those exchanges that are members of the WFE.

The International Options Clearing Association (IOCA) meets in conjunction with the IOMA annual meeting. IOCA is not a separate organization; rather it is a section within IOMA that consists of the clearinghouses who are members of IOMA.

Indices and product development

Exchanges plan to extend their index futures and options businesses: some are trying to tie up with exchanges in other regions to add offer to their local marketplaces, and to create global indices. What is the state of play on the geographical spread beyond “local,” and does this practice grow the market? How many new products pay off? What concerns do we have about cannibalization?

• Chair: Steven Sears, Senior Editor, Barron’s

• Eric Noll, Executive Vice President, Transaction Services, NASDAQ OMX

• Patrick Pearson Head of Financial Markets Infrastructure, European Commission (excused)


2010 IOMA/IOCAAnnual Conference highlightsThe world’s credit market troubles began in early 2007, and successive crises have moved on one by one to other parts of the world’s financial system since. In sharp contrast to other actors, derivatives exchanges and their associated clearers have offered the financial community certainty of execution and transparency of pricing.

The conference examined the business position of clearing houses in this light, their usefulness for prudent speculation and risk management. Risk profiles of market participants have been changing, often rapidly and negatively, yet exchange trading and clearing have functioned without significant disruption. Also, in response to the ongoing crisis environment, this industry has been responding by extending its range of services, including over-the-counter (OTC) trade reporting, bilateral clearing, and central counterparty clearing for more kinds of contracts. More effort than ever has been put into finding margin offsets to reduce costs to customers.

Conference participants looked for a product roadmap: what are different exchange and clearing house plans beyond credit default swaps? How is clearability of these other instruments defined and commonly understood? Indeed, what does “standardized” mean for a contract? On systemic risk, what kinds of “meltdown” scenarios are being contemplated, precisely in order to avoid them? Have there been changes in minimum requirements for clearing house membership in the course of the past three years? How does this private-sector industry association view the prospect of public authorities mandating clearing, and how easy a fit would this be relative to the current accepted risk portfolios managed? The idea of forced clearing of OTC contracts which may not be standardized was a source of considerable unease, in fact; OTC works differently and meets its own economic purposes. The two worlds do not easily overlap.

Participants also addressed the question of global financial market reform, for regulated marketplaces and for clearers. It was not evident in April 2010 that there would in fact be effective global coordination going forward; as one example, that very week the United States Congress suddenly put financial questions on its agenda at an accelerated pace, changing the calendar for everyone else, too. Not addressing financial problems across the world on a broadly comparable basis was a cause for further concern, as OTC is precisely the area where the 2007 crisis began; coordination is indispensable for minimizing future problems by reducing the possibilities for regulatory gaps. IOMA leaders were therefore especially pleased to share perspectives on these matters directly with authorities from the United States and European Union.

Meanwhile, as this crisis has evolved, the self-regulatory organization managers have had to look ever more closely at various kinds of fraud issues cropping up, and how to identify them in the midst of often heavy volumes, large price movements, and ever increasing cross-border trading. More time has been spent examining the financial stability of the broker-dealer communities. There is a need for surveillance staff to be able to reconstruct more complex

audit trails. The self regulating organization (SRO) managers and the speakers representing public authorities were in agreement that whether the trading is taking place on- or off-exchange, more transparency is needed and will be mandated.

The information technology front has been equally busy for exchanges this past year as latency has fallen to near zero, processing capacity has risen sharply, and above all the message traffic for derivatives exchanges has exploded. There is in effect something of an IT arms race taking place in the trading sector, though as a result exchanges are able to offer very different kinds of trading services to their customers. In fact, the closing panel session was devoted to listening to different kinds of client constituencies to hear more about their diverse needs, which have to be balanced out against one another within the exchange space at any given point in time. Each kind of client naturally puts its own interest forward, and all must somehow be accommodated.

Given the monetary questions being raised by government economic and financial support in the form of extraordinarily low interest rates and nationalizations or very extensive guarantees being extended, it was thought that futures and options on currencies and interest rates traded on exchange would have a very bright future.

The conference also addressed the question of further exchange consolidation: is it in the offering or will there be a pause after several years of mergers and acquisitions in this sector?

Perhaps the key concluding question had to do with the need to restore the good name of derivatives. The exchange-traded and cleared products have been unfairly tarnished by the contracts traded OTC, with all the economic and social damage they have wrought.

Bob Greifeld addresses the conference participants the 2011 Annual Conference will be hosted by NSE India on 1-4 May 2011. Included within his remarks were the likelihood of U.S. financial reform passing in both houses of Congress as well as a discussion of the latest SEC options pricing proposal.

Introduction

This report is the result of the annual survey conducted by the World Federation of Exchanges for the International Options Markets Association (IOMA) derivatives exchanges. This report deals with the trading of derivatives products and covers 52 exchanges. Some of these exchanges trade in a wide range of derivatives contracts, while many specialize in a single area of the market. The survey results were analyzed into seven groups representing underlying assets:

• Single equity

• Equity indices

• Exchange Traded Funds

• Short-term interest rates (STIR)

• Long-term interest rates (LTIR)

• Currencies

• Commodities

The survey was compiled from questionnaire responses sent by IOMA members as well as data from exchange websites. The authors wish to thank exchanges which responded to the questionnaire and especially to exchange staff who gave further assistance in response to enquiries.

The report begins with an overview of the offering of exchanges in terms of listed products. The section “The Global Derivatives Market” describes the overall developments in derivative volumes. The section “Exchange and Product Trends” examines volumes and value at each exchange within each major product type. It shows changes from 2008 for all exchanges. The study ends with “Concluding Remarks”, which raise further questions for consideration.

Offers of derivatives

The financial crisis has slowed the pace of financial innovation and in 2009 few exchanges have added new classes of underlyings to their offerings of listed products. Only the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange started trading in single equity options. Whereas several exchanges introduced stock futures in previous years, this trend stopped and one exchange withdrew these products. Some changes also occurred in the listing of STIR derivatives, with the Singapore Exchange dropping the options and Budapest Stock Exchange adding futures. Osaka Stock Exchange newly listed FX margin contracts and some exchanges already active in currency derivatives launched new products, for example six “E-micro” currency pairs were newly proposed by CME group to retail investors with contract sizes divided by ten compared to standard currency futures. Eventually, the most significant move was the introduction of ETF options in Asia, a class of products which was previously a specificity of the American markets (the only exception being Eurex): two Japanese exchanges, Osaka Stock Exchange and Tokyo Stock Exchange introduced ETF options.

All three time zones have grown during the decade. Even though the Americas time zone is still the largest region (although much less than before), the Asia - Pacific time zone share has grown significantly, while the EAME (Europe - Africa - Middle East) area has almost remained stable.


The average for the number of different product lines (excluding exotic products) is 4.5 and the median is 4. The Australian Securities Exchange is the only exchange whose offers include all classes. At the other end of the spectrum, 10 exchanges offer only one class of products, the majority being Asian exchanges offering commodity futures.

Exchanges have numerous projects for launching new types of contracts. Among exchanges that have answered the question relating to their prospects for listing new products, 13 said they did plan on offering new products outside of their current asset classes during 2010 while 15 said the opposite. Most frequently cited classes of products are equity derivatives and exotic derivatives like futures and options on renewable energy certificates. The Warsaw Stock Exchange has the most numerous projects, including equity and currency options, commodities futures, metal futures and exotic futures.

CBOE intends to launch new dividends, volatility and variance derivatives, following the introduction in 2006 of the VIX options which have been increasingly traded. After having launched Euro STOXX dividend index futures in 2008, Eurex also announced dividend futures on individual stocks while NYSE Liffe will launch CAC 40 dividend futures.

Several exchanges announced or started trading in new commodities derivatives:

• CME Group has projects on GSCI crude oil and gold.

• Johannesburg Stock Exchange on gold, platinum, sweet crude oil futures.

• Eurex launched agricultural futures (mainly potatoes), gold and silver derivatives.

• BM&FBOVESPA will register OTC trades in flexible options on soybean futures.

• TAIFEX launched gold options on January 19th, 2009, and also have new product.

The global derivatives market

16.6 billion derivative contracts were transacted in 2009 on exchanges worldwide (7.8 billion futures and 8.8 billion options). The financial crisis translated into a slight decline compared to 2008 (16.4 billion contracts). Such stabilization is a break in the trend of uninterrupted growth recorded in all previous years since 1998.

For the first time, the futures market stopped growing in 2009. The growth rate was slightly positive for options (+3%) but was at his lowest level since 2004.

In previous years, the variation of global activity of derivatives exchanges was heavily influenced by the weight of the Korea Exchange in equity index options trading. In 2009, KOSPI 200 options traded on the Korean market still accounted for a huge share (18%) of global trading of derivatives on all underlying classes but their growth rate was at a similar level as the rest of the market.

Exchange and products trends

For the first time trading volumes of equity derivatives decreased in 2008 due to a small growth rate of options while futures showed a negative growth rate.

As in 2008, negative growth rates were observed in all groups of interest rate products.

Currency derivatives surged (+48%), driven by futures traded in India.

Eventually, the growth of commodity derivatives accelerated. Two Chinese exchanges, the Dalian Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Futures Exchange, strongly contributed to this growth. Alone they represented more than half of the global number of contracts traded in commodity futures.

A – Equity products

Equity products still represent the dominant share of derivatives trading although their relative weight slightly decreased in 2009 to 64% (against 67% in 2008). In 2009 equity derivatives developed during a period of declining volatility after record levels observed at the end of 2008.

Stock options

In 2009, the growth rate of trading volumes was insignificant following a decrease in 2008. This stabilization of the market represents a break after several years of tremendous growth.

The United States continues to dominate the stock options market, with four of the world’s five most active exchanges (ISE, CBOE, NASDAQ OMX PHLX and NYSE Arca Options).

In South America, BM&FBOVESPA surged in 2009 (+56%) and became the third biggest exchange in the world for its trading volumes. Petrobas and Vale options remain the most actively traded stock options in the world.

In Europe, Spain experienced one of the strongest growths (+94%) but on all other European exchanges volumes decreased or remained stable.

Most of the high growth rates in 2009 were observed in the Asia-Pacific region, whilst on the most important exchange in this region for stock options, namely the Hong Kong Exchange, volumes decreased 13%. Volumes remained much smaller in Asia than in the Americas and Europe.

Stock futures

After having grown more rapidly than other segments of the derivatives market in previous years, the stock futures market declined in 2009. The annual growth rate was negative (- 39%).

The stock futures market remains located in both the Europe Africa region and in the Asia Pacific region. Due to a fivefold decrease of trading volumes on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the Europe Africa region was overtaken by the Asia Pacific region. The relative decrease of volumes on National Stock Exchange of India was offset in this region by the surge of the Australian Securities Exchange. In North America the only exchange offering this class of products for trading is One Chicago where volumes remained modest.

Index options

Like the equity options market, index options have experienced a slowdown in the growth of traded volumes after several years of rapid growth. Nonetheless, the annual growth rate remained positive (+5% and +3% excluding figures for Korea).

Trends in 2009 varied considerably between markets in the western and eastern regions of the globe.

Volumes continued to increase in Korea, where 76% of the global volumes were traded in 2009. The number of traded contracts more than doubled on the National Stock Exchange of India and on the Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX). The National Stock Exchange of India thus became the second market in the world in terms of number of contracts traded. The S&P CNX Nifty Index Options ranks second in the list of the most actively traded index options in the world, behind the KOSPI 200. But given the small size of this contract, it ranks much lower in term of value of the option premium paid. Positive growth rates in volumes were also observed on the Hong Kong Exchanges (+18%), the Australian Securities Exchange (+17%) and the Osaka Stock Exchange (+9%).

In North America, Europe and Africa, all exchanges except the Warsaw Stock Exchange showed negative growth rates. Despite a fall of 25% of its volume traded, the Dow Jones Euro STOXX 50 option ranks third in term of number of contracts exchanged and first for the value of premium paid. The historical SP 500 options traded on CBOE remain the second most active contract in the world for the value of premium paid. Furthermore some innovative products are still progressing despite the market turmoil. The most significant is the volatility index option (VIX) that CBOE launched in 2006. VIX options regularly win market shares and in 2009 it was ranked eighth in the list of the most actively traded index options in the world (against twelfth in 2008).

In South America, BM&FBOVESPA continued to grow rapidly.

Index futures

As for single stock futures, the number of stock index futures traded decreased significantly in 2009 (-16%).

In the Americas, trading decreased 18%. In the United States, the world’s biggest exchange in terms of volumes traded, namely CME Group, experienced one of the biggest decreases (-21%). However, CME Group still accounted for 37% of global volumes. On the contrary, the number of trades increased 132% on ICE Futures U.S, but this exchange is still a minor player for this class of contracts in the US. In Canada, the growth rate was negative (-12%). In South America, volumes decreased, by 5% on the biggest exchange, BM&FBOVESPA, but increased 4% on MexDer.

In the Europe, Africa and Middle East region, volumes decreased 16%. The sharpest decrease was observed on Eurex (-23%) so that the market share in Europe of this Exchange dropped from 65% in 2008 to 60% in 2009. The second most active exchange in the region, namely NYSE Liffe, decreased 12%. Four exchanges had positive growth rates in 2009, namely Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, Turkish Derivatives Exchange, Warsaw Stock Exchange and Wiener Börse.

In Asia, volumes remained stable. The two biggest exchanges, National Stock Exchange of India and Osaka Stock Exchange had negative growth rates (-3% and -1% respectively) but the decrease was much less pronounced than the one observed on other large exchanges for index futures. Moreover, three Asian exchanges showed vivid growth, the Taiwan Futures Exchange, the Thailand Futures Exchange and the Korea Exchange. The latter climbed to third place in the world for the notional value of its trading.

OTC registration of stock index futures decreased everywhere except for NYSE Liffe (Bclear) (+52%).

ETF options

Trading on ETF options increased 11% in 2009. The ETF options market remains mainly a US market, with very low volumes in Europe (Eurex and NYSE Liffe) and in Asia. This reflects the uneven development of the underlying market of ETFs which first appeared at the beginning of the 1990’s in the US, and only ten years later in Europe. Moreover, the European market is still fragmented with several issuers competing on the same product. For example, there are 32 different ETFs on the Dow Jones Euro STOXX 50 index.

In the United States, ETF options decreased less than index options in 2009. Volumes decreased 16% on CBOE (against 19% for index options), 9% on the International Securities Exchange (against 26% for index options) and 2% on NYSE Amex (against 53% for index options). The third most active exchange in the United States for ETF options trading, namely NYSE Arca options, increased 1%.

ETF options are also traded on BM&FBOVESPA and Montréal Exchange, but volumes are very small compared to the United Sates.

B – Interest rate products

Trading in all types of interest rate products diminished in 2009 for the second consecutive year.

Overall, traded volumes were down 23%, the largest decline for the year being on long term interest rate options.

STIR options and futures

Since the last quarter of 2008 Short Term Interest Rate derivatives have been evolving in a context of near-zero Central Banks’ interest rates.

The market decline for STIR derivatives accelerated in 2009, with options decreasing 9% and futures down 21%. However, the two largest markets showed contrasting trends. The Eurodollar options and futures traded on CME Group decreased sharply, 30% and 27% respectively. Meanwhile, the contracts traded on NYSE Liffe either increased slightly (options: +2%) or decreased less (futures: -12%). NYSE Liffe overtook CME Group as the world’s most active market for STIR options. The fall in liquidity of STIR options traded on CME Group translated into a 39% decrease of the open interest at the end of 2008 compared to the end of 2007. Open interest only partly recovered in 2009. Open interest also fell on futures in 2008, but it returned to normal levels on Eurex, while it worsened on CME Group.

Most trading in the CME Group is concentrated on Eurodollar futures which remain the most active STIR contracts in the world despite a fall from 597 million to 437 million contracts. Eurodollar options are also still the most active STIR options globally, but the Euribor options follow just behind.

The resistance of the NYSE Liffe options is attributable to the Three Months Euribor and Euribor Mid Curve contract which grew by more than 20% while Three Months Sterling contracts declined. Conversely, the Euribor futures declined while sterling futures remained stable.

Other markets offering STIR options include BM&FBOVESPA whose options more than doubled in 2009 while futures diminished. On MexDer the LTIR introduced in 2007 overtook STIR futures.

All other exchanges where STIR options are traded declined.

LTIR options and futures

Among all classes of products, the decline of long term interest rate products was the worst in 2009. The crisis of confidence triggered by Lehman’s collapse had a very significant negative impact on the liquidity of the market. The global open interest in LTIR options and futures at the end of 2008 had fallen 45% and 35% respectively compared to the end of 2007. The market went through a quieter period over 2009 but the open interest in futures did not increase significantly during the year and the increase of 22% in the open interest in options was not sufficient to recover to the levels observed before the crisis.

This unfavorable trend mainly reflects the situation of the largest markets, Eurex and CME Group, where options traded declined 32% and 36% respectively, while futures declined 4% and 33% respectively. Meanwhile, smaller market places grew rapidly: Johannesburg Stock Exchange, NYSE Liffe, and ASX for options; Bursa Malaysia, Korea Exchange and Johannesburg Stock Exchange for futures.

Despite the decline of their recorded volumes, EUREX and CME Group still hold an overwhelming market share for LTIR derivatives trading globally, amounting to 93% for options and 89% for futures. The Euro-Bond futures on Eurex and the 10 Year Treasury Note futures on CME kept their leading position globally although volumes decreased by more than one quarter for the second consecutive year.

In the Americas, LTIR options are also traded on the Montréal Exchange, the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange and CBOE but volumes are low. As far as LTIR futures are concerned, volumes traded on other exchanges in the Americas decreased in Montréal, on BM&FBOVESPA and on MexDer.

In the Europe, Africa and Middle East region it is also worth noting that the surge in the number of LTIR futures recorded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 2008 continued in 2009 with a 174% increase in volumes.

In the Asia Pacific region, only two exchanges list LTIR options, namely the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Australian Securities Exchange: the latter recorded a sharp increase (especially in terms of notional value) while the former remained stable. As for futures, the Korea Exchange continued its momentum from the previous year, while ASX, Singapore Exchange and Tokyo Stock Exchange recorded lower volumes again.

C – Currency products

Due to the very rapid development of currency futures in India, currency derivatives experienced the highest growth rate in 2009 (+63%) when compared to other segments of the derivatives market. However, when National Stock Exchange of India and Multi Commodity Exchange of India are excluded from the statistics, the growth rate of traded volumes in 2009 is negative (-10%).

With 37 million contracts traded in 2009, currency options remain the smallest segment of organized markets.

a) Currency options

The growth rate of currency options volumes was negative in 2009 for all the stock exchanges except Montréal Exchange.

With 58% of traded currency options worldwide, BM&FBOVESPA remains the leading exchange for this category of product in terms of contract volumes. Nevertheless, contracts are smaller than those traded on CME Group which dominates the market in terms of notional value.

In the Europe, Africa and Middle East region, the most active exchange was the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange with 8.1 million contracts traded in 2009.

There is no trading on currency options in the Asia Pacific region at present.

b) Currency futures

Regarding currency futures, the most significant feature of 2009 was the surge of Indian exchanges: Multi Commodity Exchange of India, which began trading in October 2008, and the National Stock Exchange of India. Both exchanges rose to the forefront of global trading only a few months after this product line was launched. However the size of contracts traded in India is small compared to American standards. And in terms of notional value, they still lag far behind the two leaders, which are the CME Group in first place followed by BM&FBOVESPA in second place. In terms of notional value, the CME Group has retained its leadership with an 82% share of the world market.

In Europe, RTS surged to the top with 36 million contracts traded on its derivatives division (FORTS). FORTS dollar/ruble futures are increasingly traded by retail investors and algorithmic traders, while MICEX, the other Russian derivatives exchange, is mostly an interbank market. RTS also listed euro/dollar and euro/ruble futures in February 2009. The euro/dollar contract was more successful than the euro/ruble contract, and market participants tended to simultaneously use both dollar/ruble and euro/dollar contracts to hedge the euro/ruble exchange rate.

b) Commodity futures

CME Group lost its first position for the trading of commodity futures, as it was overtaken by the Dalian Commodity Exchange and matched by the Shanghai Futures Exchange. However the CME Group still holds the leader position in terms of notional value traded because the size of contracts on the new emerging markets tends to be lower than in traditional exchanges in America or Europe. But it should be noted that the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange is progressing very rapidly in terms of notional value traded. It already represented about a quarter of the notional value recorded on the CME Group.

The Asia Pacific region became the most active of the three regions for trading commodity futures in 2008 for the first time. In 2009 it increased its lead over other markets: Overall volumes in Asia represented about twice the volumes recorded on all other exchanges in the two other regions.

Metal futures

Trading on metal derivatives tends to concentrate on one exchange in each region: the London metal Exchange, CME Group and the Shanghai Futures Exchange.

The landscape is changing rapidly: the most actively traded contract is the Steel Rebar Future, which was launched by the Shanghai Futures Exchange in March 2009. Several other contracts listed in Shanghai showed an exponential growth. Copper futures tripled and ranked second in the world.

Agricultural futures

Agricultural derivatives are the most actively traded commodity derivatives.

As already mentioned in previous IOMA derivatives surveys, agricultural derivatives markets remain less developed in Europe than in the Americas and Asia. The revision of the European Common Agricultural Policy scheduled for 2013 will probably increase the risk exposure of farmers and agro industries, a trend that should stimulate hedging on derivatives markets.

Gathering statistics on retail trading

Like last year, exchanges were asked about the share of retail investors in trading activity. The table below summarizes answers received. Very few changes were observed compared to 2008. Equity and index options are usually more traded by private investors than futures. However, several exchanges (MEFF, Singapore Exchange and Osaka Stock Exchange) succeeded in attracting significant interest from retail investors in futures contracts.

Clearing of derivatives transactions

For the second year running data was gathered from clearing organizations.

In the Americas, the Options Clearing Corporation is the world’s largest equity derivatives clearing organization. The OCC’s participant exchanges include: the Boston Options Exchange, Chicago Board Options Exchange, International Securities Exchange, NASDAQ OMX PHLX, NYSE Amex and NYSE Arca.

Regulators increased pressure to impose the clearing of OTC trades on credit derivatives. In March 2009, ICE Trust, a subsidiary of the InterContinental Exchange (ICE), began to clear CDSs, starting with the North American Markit CDX indexes, single-name CDSs being expected in the following months. ICE Trust’s offer is based on the expertise of Creditex, an interdealer broker it acquired recently. Its membership is open to buy-side and sell-side institutions. In March 2009, ICE Trust cleared index 600 index CDS trades for a notional amount of 70 billion dollars.

ICE also intends to develop a specialized CDS clearing house for European-based products, such as Markit iTraxx indexes. For its part, CME (through its recently acquired ClearPort platform) and the hedge fund Citadel got authorization from the SEC to create a clearing house for CDSs, named CMDX.

In the Europe, Africa and Middle East region, the two largest clearing organizations are Eurex and LCH.Clearnet. Eurex clearing house clears the Eurex on-exchange trades as well as an important part of OTC trades. LCH.Clearnet’s main activity is the clearing NYSE Liffe trades on-exchange and OTC trades via Bclear. The other stock exchanges have their own clearing houses that clear 100% of the trades on-exchange.

Following pressure from the European Commission, nine international banks committed to set up a euro area based clearing facility for their OTC trades. In December 2008, NYSE Liffe added CDSs to the range of products that can be registered on its OTC service (Bclear) and cleared by LCH.Clearnet.Ltd. NYSE Liffe CDS contracts are based on Markit iTraxx Europe indexes. LCH.Clearnet SA, based in Paris also announced plans to launch the clearing of euro area CDSs and Eurex announced an initiative to include CDS in its clearing offer. In March 2009, the ISDA announced a standardization of CDS contracts that should facilitate the clearing process.

Conclusion

The financial crisis had triggered a marked slowdown of derivatives markets in 2008. The crisis continued and deepened for certain types of contracts in 2009. Index futures had only started to slow down at the fall of 2008, the year 2009 ended with a negative performance of 16%. LTIR derivatives have plunged in an even more acute crisis with trading volumes declining by one third and open positions being dramatically reduced. On the contrary, commodity futures continued to grow rapidly in 2009 as in 2008.

The overall financial and economic situation resulted in a slowdown in all segments of market activity, including exchanges. However, one should take into account several positive trends:

• The liquidity of organized derivatives markets may have diminished. But, unlike other segments of the market, such as the interbank monetary market, it never disappeared.

• The turnaround observed in 2009 will probably not end in 2010. The monthly volumes for the first three months of 2010 do not show any significant change in trading volumes on equity and bond derivatives markets (see graph below). However this turnaround came after several years of continuous and vivid growth. Derivatives markets are more and more utilized by economic players, and this fundamental trend is not definitively interrupted. Although some categories of market participants suffered from a reduced leverage (especially hedge funds) the number of exchange members did not diminish significantly.

• Some time is necessary before projects launched by clearing organizations to extend the scope of their services are implemented. A significant portion of OTC trading in vanilla products, like index options, has already been transferred to exchanges. The OTC equity options business has also declined in a number of countries. A higher proportion of trades are executed on-exchange where possible. Even among the services offered by exchanges, the crisis translated in a switch from facilities for registering and clearing of OTC trades to fully exchange executed trades.

• The financial crisis may have triggered increased concentration among financial intermediaries but the weight of the largest market members did not diminish on most exchanges (see graph below).
