3 new futures: fear index, Euro-BTP & Euro-OAT

The German Eurex futures exchange has added three new futures contracts to its product range. The VSTOXX future is the European equivalent of the US future based on the popular VIX 'fear index'. The index measures the mood of the market participants. A high value indicates that market participants are nervous and volatility is likely to be high. The two other new futures are futures on respectively Italian (Euro-BTP) and the French (Euro-OAT) government bonds. Trading volume on these futures appears to be significant.
