Update:
Please find attached an update to the Contract Specifications with a clarifying correction with regard to the Minimum Block Trade Sizes (MBTS) for weekly expiring options contracts of the EURO STOXX® Banks Index Group.
All changes are highlighted.
1. Introduction
On 30 April 2021, ESMA published results of the annual transparency calculations for non-equity instruments, which will come into effect on 31 May 2021. Therefore, Eurex will adjust the TES (Trade Entry Service)/EnLight Minimum Block Trade Sizes (MBTS) as well as the Non-Disclosure Limits for certain products to ensure compliance with the ESMA pre-/post-trade thresholds, effective 31 May 2021.
In addition, with effect from 31 May 2021, the Management Board of Eurex Deutschland decided to introduce intra-day Non-Disclosure Limits for trades entered using the Eurex T7 Entry Services (TES) for EURO STOXX® 50 Index Dividend Futures (FEXD) and Single Stock Dividend Futures.
This circular contains information on the conversion of ESMA notional thresholds into Eurex lot sizes and the updated sections of the relevant Rules and Regulations of Eurex Deutschland.
Production start: 31 May 2021
