Saxo Bank Launches USDRUB and EURRUB FX Options

Hellerup, Denmark (ots/PRNewswire) -

Saxo Bank [http://www.saxobank.com ], the multi-asset online
trading and investment specialist, today launches two new crosses to
its industry-leading OTC FX options offering, USDRUB and EURRUB. With
these, clients can now implement strategies that combine both spot
and options in the Russian Ruble, all from the same account.

Saxo Bank offers Forex Vanilla Options for currency crosses
including Gold and Silver, and Forex Binary Touch Options on six of
the most traded currency crosses. Having launched FX Options in 2001,
Saxo Bank has now become a major OTC option interbank market player
with access to deep pools of liquidity. The two new crosses
complement Saxo Bank's holistic offering to support clients' trading
strategies and to enable them to manage complex portfolios.

Didier Abbato, Vice President, Product Management at Saxo Bank,
comments: "The Russian Ruble is attractive to many investors, and we
have now made options trading possible for our clients. Saxo Bank
offers FX options on 43 currency pairs as well as a full suite of
tools and services that had hitherto only been available to
professional FX options traders. The newest addition of the two
crosses is testament to our ambition to offer a product that is
unmatched in the online trading world."

Saxo Bank offers a range of risk management tools including the FX
Options Board interface, FX Options Report for an in-depth and real
time look at portfolios combining Spot FX and FX Options positions
and FX Options Analytics to see the current market sentiment on
preferred currency crosses.

Saxo Bank also publishes free at-the-money (ATM) Implied
Volatility data for the most traded FX Options crosses as well as
25-Delta Risk Reversals, showing the difference in volatility between
puts and calls on the most traded out-of-the-money FX Options. The
over-the-counter (OTC) Volume Index shows volumes traded in the past
24 hours versus a rolling one month daily average.

The USDRUB and EURRUB FX Options are available on the SaxoTrader
platform from today. Minimum trade size for FX Options is 10,000
units of the base currency.
