Equity Markets USD 47 Tn
19 January 2012 2011 WFE Market Highlights 2011 equity volumes remained stable despite a fall in market capitalization. Derivatives, bonds, ETFs, and securitized derivatives continued to grow strongly. Total turnover value remained stable in 2011 at USD 63 tn despite a sharp decrease of the global market capitalization (-13.6% at USD 47 tn). High volatility and global uncertainty created from the sovereign debt crisis affected volumes all year through and made August 2011 the most active month in terms of trading value, a highly unusual annual peak for markets. Despite overall unfavorable conditions for primary markets in several regions, WFE members increased their total listings by 1.7% totaling 45 953 companies listed. Total number of trades decreased by 6.4% at 112 tn. This trend combined with the stability of turnover value led to a small increase in the average size of transaction which was USD 8 700 in 2011. The high volatility and lack of confidence that affected financial markets globally probably drove the needs of hedging as derivatives contracts traded grew by 8.9%. WFE members continued to diversify their products range as other products such as bonds, ETFs, and securitized derivatives all had solid growth in 2011. Equity Markets Market capitalization USD 47 tn -13.6% Domestic market capitalization declined significantly in 2011 to USD 47 401 bn roughly back to the same level of end 2009. The decline affected almost all WFE members, as there were only four exchanges ending 2011 with a higher market capitalization. The magnitude of the decline is quite similar among the three time zones: -15.9% in Asia-Pacific, -15.2% in EAME and -10.8% in the Americas. -
