No easy answers to stock markets' last-minute rush
Philip Stafford - Financial Times
The daily closing auction on stock exchanges has always been a vital part of the trading day. Fund managers and traders rely on that final five minutes to set closing prices, which are used to value portfolios or calculate indices.
But the rise of passive investing and trading algorithms is amplifying this final surge of activity, creating a shift in the rhythm of daily trading on stock markets in Europe.

Kevin Davitt - Cboe blog
Thirty years ago (February 11, 1990) Buster Douglas shocked the world when he knocked out Mike Tyson in the 10th round of their Tokyo bout. Tyson came into the fight as the undefeated and undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. He had 37 wins, 0 losses and had never been knocked down. Douglas had lost his previous fight, his mother had passed away three weeks prior, and was listed as a 42:1 longshot.

Eurex Exchange - Equity Index Highlights
Eurex
January ended with market participants posing several critical questions: How long will the disruption to supply chains last? Will infection rates peak? What does this all mean for global growth? So far, the Chinese equity market and crude oil have been in the firing line. However, with interconnected global markets and, of course, global travel, the coronavirus is not purely a domestic issue. Volatility jumped in all major developed equity benchmarks. For Eurex, this translated into demand for liquid hedging instruments: VSTOXX futures volume was up 33 percent and VSTOXX options volume plus 47 percent compared to the same month last year. Our EURO STOXX 50, DAX, mini-DAX, Banks sector and STOXX 600 futures all saw higher turnover as well. These index futures volumes increases were largely mirrored in the respective index options, with additional interest in MSCI world index options.
