Interactive Brokers has launched the Eurex/KRX Link, providing extended trading hours for Korean derivatives and aligning trading opportunities across Korean, US and European time zones.
With this extension in place, investors will be able to access products including KOSPI 200 Options, Mini-KOSPI 200 Futures, KOSPI 200 Futures, and USD/KRW currency futures during US and European market hours.
As a result of recent regulatory changes around foreign investments in South Korean equities, the Eurex/KRX link will be able to attract a greater number of international investors, Interactive Brokers stated.
Milan Galik, Interactive Brokers CEO, commented: “Providing access to the Eurex/KRX link exemplifies Interactive Brokers’ dedication to offering our clients an extensive range of global investment and trading opportunities.
“Clients can now take advantage of extended hours to trade in one of the world’s most liquid derivatives markets. Our global client base, including APAC, European and American clients, benefit by having access to KOSPI derivatives during normal and extended trading hours, regardless of location.”
