Nasdaq is quick on the trigger, as the electronic trading giant is giving an AI-upgrade to its market surveillance technology, which is used by over 50 exchanges and 30 regulators across the globe.

The CME Group has opened its first Dubai office, marking the US exchange giant's first operational base in the fast-growing Middle East region.

I am fortunate enough to cover opinions of experts from Indian exchanges and regulators in my latest article on FOW today. India has vast derivatives market, growing in leaps and bounds. However, like any other financial hub, India is also facing some challenges with heavy retail participation in futures and options, driven by post-Covid innovation in trading. SEBI has recently reported that over 90% of retail investors incurred losses in the most volatile trading segment. This is high time for India, and we need a great deal of expertise to withstand the odds. The #FOWTradingIndia2025 is an annual conference hosted by #FOW, a futures and options news handle of #DeriviaIntelligence. I feel privileged to participate in the event this year and I made some really great connections with people from the financial landscape of Bombay (I prefer not calling it Mumbai, as Bombay gives me real flavor of India's financial arena).
