Melbourne Derivatives Exchange Launches New Indices
Melbourne Derivatives Exchange today announces the launch of three sector indices for Asia Pacific: APX Mining & Metals Index (APX MLDEX), EPX Energy Index (EPX MLDEX) and PTX Oil & Gas Index (PTX MLDEX).
- (1888PressRelease) August 04, 2011 - All three indices are capitalization-weighted market price indices. They include the most actively traded commodities with the highest market volatility listed on the MLDEX.
The three indices will be calculated and published in real time by MLDEX in AUD, USD, EUR and GBP. These indices have been designed as tradable indices that can be used as underlying for structured managed futures products and for standardized derivatives.
The starting value of the three new sector indices was defined at 4,000 index points on 5th January 2012. The calculation parameters are reviewed on a quarterly basis, and every six months the composition of the index is checked and adjusted if necessary. With the launch of these three indices, Melbourne Derivatives Exchange has widened its range of products for the European region to 8 indices thereby responding to the vast potential attributed to this region. Today, Melbourne Derivatives Exchange calculates a total of 36 indices, with 12 of them tracking national, regional, and sector-related developments in the Asia Pacific Rim.
Melbourne Derivatives Exchange has once again proven its international index competence: structured products with a reference to the indices relevant worldwide, are now based on the indices calculated by Melbourne Derivatives Exchange.
