Interactive Brokers (Nasdaq: IBKR), an automated global electronic broker, today announced the availability of Daily Options on the CAC 40^® index, further expanding Interactive Brokers’ robust product suite. Daily Options on the CAC 40^® index provide experienced investors with another means to execute short-term trading strategies and manage exposure to the French stock market.
