With Eurex’s push to list dollar-denominated single-stock futures, we thought it would be a good time to take a look these products, which have fallen to the wayside in the United States, but are gaining volume and acceptance in other countries.
Turns out the South African Future Exchange, part of the JSE (formerly the Johannesburg Stock Exchange) has taken a commanding lead. While comparing products across continents with different regulations, listing standards and sizes is more than apples and oranges, it is interesting that SSFs are seemingly gaining acceptance everywhere except in the United States.
