Last week, we hosted the Euronext Derivatives and Clearing Update at the Palazzo Mezzanotte, home of Borsa Italiana. The event provided a valuable opportunity to share insights into #Euronext’s latest developments in financial derivatives and #clearing, as well as upcoming initiatives, one year after the successful migration of the Italian Derivatives Market (IDEM) to Euronext’s Optiq® trading platform. Kicked off with a bell ringing and a welcome speech by Fabrizio Testa, the event was followed by engaging presentations from Anthony Attia, Charlotte Alliot, and Roberto Pecora on the following topics: 🔹 Strategic derivatives and clearing initiatives, part of Euronext’s #InnovateForGrowth2027 plan, including the release of the Euronext Nord Pool Futures market in the Nordic and Baltic regions, the Repo Clearing Expansion across Europe, and the launch of collateral management solutions powered by #EuronextClearing. 🔹 Diversification into Fixed Income Derivatives, with the upcoming introduction of mini-sized futures on European government bonds, and further expansion of the equity #derivatives offering, with a focus on single stock options and daily index options. 🔹 The migration of Italian Equities, ETFs, and Derivatives to the new Core Clearing System and how Euronext Clearing supports new market initiatives with its robust risk management framework. Thank you to the participants for their meaningful contributions and for making this event truly engaging and insightful!

📢 “I always said, ‘If women are ever allowed on the stock exchange, then I will be one of them.’” ♀️ As #WomensHistoryMonth comes to a close at Euronext, we highlight the story of Ine Pennings, a former trading assistant at Schretlen & Co. (now Rabobank), who in 1975 became one of the first women to set foot on the floor of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, now #EuronextAmsterdam. Nearly 50 years ago, Ine Pennings broke barriers as the first woman, along with Carla Tijhof and Els Wouters on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange trading floor. Their presence was not just symbolic—it was a turning point. Despite resistance, they proved that talent, determination, and expertise know no gender. 🗝️ At #Euronext, we honour their legacy and continue to champion #genderdiversity in #finance. The journey is far from over, but thanks to pioneers like Ine, today’s women in finance have a stronger foundation to build upon. This Women’s History Month, we celebrate those who paved the way—and those who will shape the future. Read the article: https://lnkd.in/ezzANq-8

Last week, Euronext sponsored Finadium's Rates and Repo event in London, where experts explored the evolving repo landscape, including discussions around #Euronext's Repo Expansion Initiative, supported by Euronext Clearing. https://lnkd.in/esAGZGnu Here’s what stood out: 🔹 Liquidity Shifts: The ECB’s liquidity reduction and European reliance on new debt issuance are reshaping funding patterns. 🔹 Regulation in Focus: Stronger oversight on hedge fund leverage, ongoing debate over mandatory haircuts, and an evolving access model for the buy side, with potential accounting impacts under review. 🔹 Market Dynamics: Cross-margining is advancing, potentially improving capital efficiency. Meanwhile, T+1 settlement will demand faster processes, driving firms to enhance collateral mobility and operational readiness. 🔹 Central Banks' Role: Panellists questioned whether central banks will fully return to their traditional role as lenders of last resort, or continue to play an active role in markets. As Euronext expands its repo clearing services, we remain committed to providing robust solutions that support market participants in navigating these changes.
