  • Property derivative volumes have rebounded, surpassing pre-credit crunch levels. This surge is driven mainly by hedge funds and institutional investors. However, the group of end-users that could benefit the most from these instruments has largely stayed out of the market. Have direct property owners missed a trick? Rachel Wolcott reports.
  • Bernd Knobloch has left Eurohypo, where he had been chief executive and chairman of the board of managing directors. Frank Pörschke who joined the German real estate lender in September 2007 has been tapped to succeed Knobloch.
  • The growth of CBRE’s outsourcing business is helping to propel the company through one of the toughest trading environments in its history. Chief executive Brett White explains how the global real estate services firm will emerge from this downturn on the up and up. Rachel Wolcott reports.
  • Société Générale plans to hire a new listed options salesperson on the heels of hiring Kelly Broadhurst from UBS in equity derivatives sales last week. She was at the firm for 13 years. There are currently seven sales people dedicated to hedge funds and two to insurance. Broadhurst will be dedicated to traditional asset managers with the new salesperson assigned to the hedge funds desk.
  • Obviously, HSBC’s FX area was not exempt from the swingeing staff cuts announced by the bank yesterday. Rumours suggest that the bank postponed the move by a week, as some of the staff to be laid off were required to sort out the exposure it had to Lehman positions. I’m told reliably that, at least in FX, there was no real drama over the announcement and that some of the bank’s longer-serving members took the opportunity to bow out of the market gracefully.
  • Saxo has gained approval from the Banque de France to become a fully licensed French bank.
  • In these turbulent times, we spend a considerable amount of effort at the weeklyFiX thinking of ways to entertain and bring value to our readers. My latest suggestion is that we launch a radio station with a market theme. Here’s the weeklyFiX’s first top 20. Suggestions welcomed.
  • As the US gets ready to switch on its money-printing presses – a reader kindly sent me a picture of the new dollar bills that are about to go into circulation – the FX market, like others, has been caught between those who think the end of the crisis is nigh, and those who think the end of the world as we know it is nigh.
  • The National Futures Association’s fight to clean up retail FX in the US continues.
  • ...and stuff me again. I hear from one of Deutsche’s clients that the bank has been quoting some rather odd prices to roll his open positions. When the client queried this, the prices were miraculously tightened. The client remains unimpressed and says as a result he has transferred what business he was doing with Deutsche to a couple of its major rivals, who are both in the Euromoney top five.
  • Deutsche’s been pumping out the news this week like the US has been pumping out financial institutions holed below the water line. The latest, hot-off-the-press development is the addition of fractional pricing on dbFX.com, Deutsche Bank’s retail trading platform. Better late than never I suppose – Oanda did the same thing in June 2004. Still, the bank seems quite chuffed with itself.
  • JPMorgan has unveiled a new e-commerce offering. Called MorganDirect, the bank says the platform can be used to trade spot, forwards and outrights from either desktops or BlackBerries, 24 hours a day. The platform will provide streaming rates for over 300 currency pairs and the bank says that other products and assets will be added in due course.
