Futures exchanges face uphill climb in global push.

Financial News, March, 2004

While futures exchanges try to go global by offering products that have long been the staples of other exchanges, market participants say these offerings face an uphill climb to success outside of their home countries.The Chicago Board of Trade, for example, has announced it will offer futures on German debt products, currently among the primary products on the Frankfurt-based Eurex exchange.

A recent survey of European swap desks, international banks, futures brokers and other industry sources concluded the CBOT's German debt offering would 'make only a small dent' in Eurex volumes, and that Eurex will remain the dominant exchange in German government bond futures.
