CBOE seats hit new peaks

The Chicago Board Options Exchange, the US derivatives planning to adopt for-profit status, saw its seats hit record highs this week following a trend set by rival Chicago Board of Trade, whose memberships soared ahead of its change of status and subsequent flotation.

On Tuesday a membership on the CBOE fetched $777,000 (€662,622), narrowly ahead of where they traded on Monday.
