Products highlights
FTSE Index derivatives
U.K. equities posted a mixed performance in June, as mid-cap equities outperformed.
The FTSE 250 Index rose +2.8% in June, supported by improving sentiment toward mid-cap names and resilient domestic indicators, while the FTSE 100 Index slipped -0.1%, weighed down by its heavier exposure to U.S. dollar earnings amid broad dollar weakness and tariff-driven uncertainty.
Year-to-date, the FTSE 100 Index is up 7.2% while the FTSE 250 Index is up 4.9%, outperforming most U.S. indices.

MSCI Index derivatives
June was a strong month for global equities, with the MSCI ACWI PR USD Index rising 4.4% , supported by stable inflation expectations and resilient earnings. Global markets held relatively steady despite rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with volatility only spiking briefly mid-month before normalizing.
Emerging markets led the rally, with the MSCI EM PR USD Index gaining 5.7% for the month helped by a weaker U.S. dollar and improving sentiment across Asia. The dollar softness was further amplified by growing expectations of U.S. rate cuts and political pressure on the Federal Reserve.
International developed markets posted more moderate gains with the MSCI EAFE PR USD Index rising 2.1%, reflecting continued investor appetite for non-U.S. equity exposure, though currency movements dampened the USD returns.
