[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] KB Securities announced on the 21st that it will hold a 'Nasdaq Futures Commission Discount Event' for new overseas futures customers and individual customers who have not traded since March 31, until the end of December.


This event was prepared to ease the burden on customers starting overseas futures trading due to the expected increase in volatility of U.S. stock index futures caused by the U.S. presidential election scheduled for November. When eligible customers apply for the event via phone, they will receive an online commission discount benefit for micro and mini products traded on the U.S. CME exchange for three months from the application date.


The applicable discounted commissions are $0.50 per contract for micro products such as Micro Nasdaq 100 (MNQ), Micro S&P 500 (MES), and Micro Dow $5 (MYM), and $2.50 per contract for mini products such as E-mini Nasdaq 100 (NQ), E-mini S&P 500 (ES), and E-mini Dow $5 (YM).


Lee Hong-gu, Head of WM Division, said, "We prepared this discounted commission event for new customers who were concerned about trading costs when starting overseas futures trading," adding, "We will continue to provide various services that allow customers to trade global market products more easily and conveniently to meet their interests."


Investing in overseas futures options may result in losses exceeding the principal, and losses due to exchange rate fluctuations should be noted.



KB Securities overseas futures options accounts can be opened non-face-to-face through the account opening menu of the MTS ‘M-able (Mable)’, and for detailed information such as event application, please refer to the KB Securities website or contact the Global Derivatives Team.
