Financial Derivatives Trading

Where European Government Bonds Meet the Future

In September 2025, Euronext will launch fixed income derivatives on main European government bonds, providing a significant innovation in the financial derivatives space, while leveraging on its presence in the fixed income trading ecosystem via MTS Markets and the retail-focused MOT bond market.

The first phase of this strategic expansion will feature the launch of mini-sized, cash-settled futures on European government bonds. Listed on the Euronext Derivatives Milan market and cleared by Euronext Clearing, these contracts will deliver unparallaled accessibility and flexibility in trading strategies.
