Eurex moves to ease collateral burden

New regulation of the $710 trillion derivatives industry is ramping up the costs of swap trading

Eurex Clearing has launched a new service aimed at easing the cost of posting collateral against derivatives trades, as its members battle with the increased outlay of trading brought about by new regulations.

The Deutsche Börse-owned clearing house now allows its members to offset collateral charges paid against derivatives trades that are correlated across both listed and over-the-counter, or OTC, markets.
