Eurex has a strong presence across Asia Pacific, with offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan serving clients throughout the region, including Australia. Our regional teams provide local market expertise, client support and access to Eurex's global derivatives marketplace.
To better serve Asian market participants, Eurex has extended its trading hours to begin at 08:00 Singapore/Hong Kong time. The enhanced trading window provides greater access to liquidity, enabling clients across key markets such as Japan and Australia to manage risk and respond to market developments during their local business day.
In addition, Eurex provides dedicated local support through its Singapore-based Key Account Management and Clearing teams. Combined with ongoing product innovation, including the launch of Japanese Single Stock Futures and Single Stock Dividend Futures, Eurex connects Asian investors to a broad range of global trading, hedging and financing opportunities.
Why trade Eurex products during Asian trading hours?
Eurex offers access to selected liquid derivatives during Asian, European and U.S. trading hours, enabling market participants to manage risk and execute trading strategies across major global time zones. This allows investors to react to market-moving events as they happen, rather than waiting for European markets to open

Frequently Asked Questions
Eurex is committed to supporting the growing needs of the Asia Pacific investment community. With offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan, we work closely with regional market participants to provide access to global derivatives markets, local market expertise, educational resources and client support across APAC, including Australia.
Eurex supports Asian clients by providing access to a broad range of listed derivatives covering equity indexes, fixed income, equity financing and other asset classes. In addition to trading opportunities, clients benefit from educational events, market insights, product training and dedicated regional support.
To better align with the needs of Asian market participants, Eurex has extended its trading hours to start at 08:00 Singapore/Hong Kong time. This allows clients in key markets such as Japan and Australia to access Eurex products more conveniently during their local business day and react to market developments as they occur.
Investor demand for Asian underlying derivatives continues to grow, particularly for MSCI EM Asia and country-specific exposures such as Japan, Korea and India. We are also seeing strong interest in Japanese Single Stock Futures (SSFs) and Single Stock Dividend Futures (SSDFs) as investors seek efficient tools to gain and hedge Asian market exposure.
Diversification is a key driver. European derivatives allow Asian investors to gain exposure to different economic cycles, sectors and market themes that may not be available in their domestic markets. Products such as EURO STOXX 50®, DAX® and MSCI Europe futures provide efficient access to European equities, while Bund, Bobl, Schatz, OAT and BTP futures offer exposure to one of the world's most important fixed income markets. This helps investors diversify portfolios, manage risk and access opportunities beyond Asia.
