Cboe Global Markets (CBOE) announced the launch of Options on Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) Futures (Ticker: UX) on October 14. These CFTC-regulated options will physically settle into front-month VIX Futures, offering investors a new tool to manage U.S. equity market volatility. The product complements Cboe's existing securities-based VIX Index options and may allow more market participants to trade VIX options products.

Key features include:

• European-style exercise
• P.M. settlement
• Physical settlement into front-month VIX futures
• Initial listing of contract expirations for every day the week of October 21 with two additional Friday expirations

This launch follows Cboe's recent introduction of S&P 500 Variance (VA) futures, expanding their volatility product suite ahead of the U.S. election.

Cboe Global Markets announced the listing of new ADRhedged™ securities (ADRH) on Cboe U.S. starting October 7, 2024. These innovative products, sponsored by Precidian Investments, aim to provide U.S. investors with exposure to individual international companies while including an embedded currency hedge. ADRHs combine an ADR priced at approximately $50 USD per share with a currency hedge to mitigate risks from foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

The launch will occur in phases, with AstraZeneca, HSBC, and Shell being the first three companies listed. Cboe anticipates listing 14 additional ADRHs soon. This new offering builds on the success of currency-hedged Canadian Depositary Receipts (CDRs) listed on Cboe Canada, which have seen over $50 billion CAD in trading volume and $6 billion CAD in assets under management since their 2021 launch.

Cboe Global Markets (CBOE) plans to launch Cboe S&P 500 Variance Futures on September 23, 2024, on the Cboe Futures Exchange. This new product aims to provide market participants with a tool to calculate implied volatility of the U.S. equity market and manage volatility risks. The futures offer a streamlined approach to trading the spread between implied and realized volatility, enabling traders to capitalize on market discrepancies.

The launch comes at a critical time amid uncertain macroeconomic conditions, including the upcoming U.S. election and geopolitical tensions. Cboe expects these futures to appeal to a wide range of market participants, including volatility traders, hedge funds, institutional investors, and portfolio managers. The product is designed to be capital-efficient and transparent, offering an accessible way to replicate OTC variance swap exposures in a centrally cleared environment.

Cboe Global Markets (CBOE) has launched the VIXTLT Index, a new volatility measure for the U.S. Treasury market. This index, which began publishing on August 12, 2024, is designed to track 30-day expected volatility in real-time, similar to the VIX Index for equity markets. The VIXTLT Index is calculated using options on the iShares® 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT), a highly liquid fund focused on long-term Treasury bonds.

This new index adds to Cboe's growing suite of volatility indices and derivatives-based offerings. It provides market participants with a tool to monitor expected volatility in the Treasury market, complementing the VIX Index for equities. By observing both indices, investors can gain insights into how volatility in these two major asset classes interacts during different market conditions. The VIXTLT Index is available in basis point measure, offering a familiar metric for fixed income market participants.
