Futures trading through central counterparty BME Clearing saw a significant uptick in volume and open interest in May, after a disappointing start to 2016.

The CCP’s main derivative product IBEX 35 Options trading volume came in at 180,305 and trading in stock options came in at 1,425,803 contracts, up 2.66 percent and 7.5 percent respectively from April.

Trading on futures on stock dividends has also grown up to 107.63 percent and experiences an increase of 16.49 percent in the open interest, according to BME Clearing.

Prior to May’s rebound, BME Clearing recorded three million trades in IBEX 35 Futures and 1.2 million in Mini IBEX Futures for the first four months of the year, representing a fall of 1 percent and 2.8 percent respectively from last year.
