Equity Derivatives monthly update

September update 

Just when you thought we were starting to get back to a little normality…let’s see what craziness the US Election may bring to the market. 

September 2020

• September markets were a little more normal compared to March and June when dividend uncertainty was high and where we were heading was unclear. September brought about a more stable market, which was clearly evident in SPI roll activity. SPI volumes were up over 2.5% compared to pcp and it was the 5th largest SPI trading month on record.
• Equity Options volumes were down for both Index and Single Stock some of this due to continued subdued retail client activity.
