Quite possibly. Very unusual that both micro dax and eurostoxx have no market maker to keep the spread tight. The CME micros low interest contracts like Yen and British pound have a tight bid/ask. Something doesn't seem right.
nothing abnormal. dax volume has all along been much higher than mini dax. why did Eurex introduce micro dax when the volume is going to be very low? No idea. traders, investors ... have all along preferred to trade the very big size DAX. Nikkei has a similar pattern. There are actually thousands of products across various exchanges with zero or almost zero volume. That includes the various MSCI indices from Eurex, HKFE ...
You may have missed the success of the CME micro index contracts. While I didn't think the micro dax would challenge micro NQ I didn't think it would trade 100-200 lots a day.
Toby400 I have seen on the AMP blog that they have disabled the new Eurex micro contracts. A short message citing low liquidity . If liquidity picks up they will reinstate. Hope this helps
Yesterday micro dax traded 1000+ contracts today 1500 by 15.20. Are there any indications that Amp will enable trading in this market?
that is extremely tiny. most likely the person who introduced this micro thing will be slaughtered for failure to do the proper homework.
