Eurex targets US dollar market as credit derivatives participation accelerates

Eurex is stepping up efforts to expand its presence in the US dollar credit derivatives market as buy-side participation continues to accelerate. Speaking at the Fixed Income Leader Summit in Boston, global head of markets Lee Bartholomew said the exchange has seen more than 80% month-on-month growth in new buy-side clients, helping deepen liquidity and broaden market activity. He said Eurex’s strategy is focused on building a global, multi-currency credit derivatives ecosystem, with further expansion in the US and Asia supported by growing hedge fund participation and enhanced clearing services.
