Derivatives Market sees record volumes

Moscow Exchange's derivatives turnover in December was RUB 8.53 trln (December 2013: RUB 3.6 trln), or 168.94 mln contracts (December 2013: 83.9 mln contracts), a record since the launch of the market. A total of 27 mln trades in 151.87 mln futures and 17.07 mln options were executed.

Open interest was RUB 457.3 bln at the end of December (December 2014: RUB 389.9 bln), compared to RUB 1.09 at the end of November. The decline was due to the usual practice of brokers reducing open interest towards the year end.
