[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] The Korea Exchange announced on the 15th that it plans to list additional KOSPI 200 weekly options, which expire every Monday, and expand the timing of regular changes in stock futures and options.
Currently, the maturity of the KOSPI 200 Weekly option is every Thursday, designed to advance sequentially if the expiration date is closed.
In addition to the option due on Thursday, by adding a Monday maturity option, the company explained that it can prevent weekly options with the same maturity from being listed in duplicate on long-term holidays such as holidays.
If Monday is closed, the expiration date of weekly options will be postponed to the next trading day, and other product details and systems are the same as existing options.
It also plans to manage downside risks as economic events that take place over the weekend, including changes in overseas stock markets, are reflected in the Monday stock market due to the listing of additional maturity options on Monday.
In addition, the timing of regular changes in stock futures and options will be increased from once a year (July) to twice a year (March and September) to provide investors with various trading opportunities.
Due to the regular change, 25 more stock futures and five stock options will be selected as basic shares, while eight stock futures will be excluded from basic shares.
In the securities market, 15 futures, including Lotte Holdings and SD Biosensors, and 20 additional stocks, including five options such as POSCO Future M and LG Innotek, will be selected.
The KOSDAQ market will add 10 futures stocks, including Estipam and Hugel.
On the other hand, seven futures such as Youngjin Pharmaceutical and Nexen Tire in the securities market and one futures in the KOSDAQ market are excluded from basic sovereignty.
