  • B3 Transfers Equities to Its Multi-Asset Clearing Platform
    Press release 29 August 2017 B3 transfers equities to its multi-asset clearing platform Cinnober’s real-time clearing solution now handles post trading process for both the equities and the derivatives markets in Brazil • BRL 21 billion of collateral returned to the market (approx. USD 6,4 billion) • Phase two completed of major Post-Trade Integration Project going from two clearinghouses to one for equities and derivatives • More efficient risk management by analyzing the risk on entire portfolios B3 (the Brazilian exchange and clearinghouse) successfully launched on Monday the equities, corporate bonds, and equities lending markets on its new multi-asset clearing platform. The clearing solution is delivered by Cinnober, built on its TRADExpress RealTime Clearing system. The migration of the equities clearinghouse was the target for phase two of B3’s Post-Trade Integration Project that will consolidate B3’s originally four clearinghouses into one integrated entity (managing equities, derivatives, government and corporate debt securities and FX). Derivatives and OTC products were the first to launch on the new platform in phase one. With the new integrated clearinghouse, B3 manages risk more efficiently. By analyzing the risk on entire portfolios, the clearinghouse can compensate if an investor has opposite positions in the same underlying asset across product groups and markets. When financial and commodity derivatives, along with OTC products, migrated to the new clearinghouse in phase one, the total systemic benefit in terms of margin release amounted to around BRL 20 billion. The estimated effect from Monday’s launch of phase two is BRL 21 billion of collateral that was returned to the market with complete preservation of the clearinghouse’s safety system.

  • 2020 Market Highlights
    2020 Market Highlights Summary 2020 was an extraordinary year for everyone, perhaps rather too eventful. The Covid-19 pandemic, the US presidential election, Brexit, the resignation of Japan’s prime minister Shinzo Abe and increased tension between the US and China created vast economic uncertainty and a flood of pessimistic forecasts. In March we saw market volatility levels comparable only to those of the Great Financial Crisis of 2008 and for months on end, normal working, travel, and leisure arrangements were severely disrupted. When we look at the data, the magnitude of the shock is evident, particularly in March. But what is remarkable is that despite the exceptional circumstances and even during the worst days of the crisis, markets remained open and functioning. In addition, after the peak in uncertainty observed in March, markets quickly recovered. By the end of July, most indicators registered a quick reversal to the activity levels seen before the pandemic, reflecting a strong confidence in the markets and in their role in supporting the economy. Towards the end of the year, the news of the development and approval of several Covid-19 vaccines, the final agreement between the UK and the EU, and the outcome of the US elections seemed to have boosted the confidence of investors and issuers, driving markets to end the year on a high note. Key Indicators Equities • After a sharp drop (20.7%) in Q1, domestic market capitalisation quickly recovered, reaching pre-pandemic levels by the end of Q2. • In November 2020, global market capitalisation passed the 100 USD trillion mark for the first time, ending the year at 109.21 USD trillion, up 19.7% when compared with the end of 2019.
