Weekly Bulletin: March 3-9

The great and good from the listed derivatives markets descended on Boca Raton, Fla., this week for the annual Futures Industry Association gathering. Amid the back room deals hatched and executed, one public announcement caught the eye for the followers of the over-the-counter and listed markets: the re-emergence of longtime JPMorgan derivative bigwig Blythe Masters. She’s joining up with DRW Trading’s Don Wilson — who put in an appearance in Fla. — in a new venture targeting the Bitcoin world. On the product front, EQDerivatives was on hand in Boca to reveal the detail of developments in FTSE/Russell Indexes products, EURO STOXX variance and CBOE MSCI options. Now that FIA and CBOE’s RMC event are behind us, get ready for EQDerivatives’ Global EQD 2015 event in Las Vegas May 20-21. Register now at www.eqderivatives.com/events
