<li>The KRX will list 20 new single stock futures (SSF) and 5 single stock options (SSO) next Monday, July 25, including <strong><a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/lg-energy-solution" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:33464:1" rel="noopener">LG Energy Solution (373220 KS)</a></strong>.</li>
<li>It seems very probable that the replacement demand for futures (short) will increase substantially due to a possible saturation of the loan market.</li>
<li>This situation, coupled with local pensions' basis trading, can lead to a significantly distorted basis. We should do basis trading or play pair trading (with LG Chem) on this.</li>
