The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) launches today trade in stock options of the telecommunications companies, Partner Communications Company Ltd. and Cellcom Israel Ltd., as well as of Harel Insurance Investments & Financial Services Ltd.
Trade in these stock options begins following the approval of TASE's board of directors to launch the new options.
The options are to be launched following requests received from market participants. This is yet another measure taken by TASE in an effort to expand the variety of options traded on the stock exchange as part of the spectrum of financial products it offers the public. The launch also aims to diversify investment opportunities.
At present, options of all the shares included in the TA-25 index (excluding Avner, which was merged into Delek Drilling) are traded on the TASE.
