Prisma: Update of Liquidity Add-On parameters effective 2 March 2020

Eurex Clearing Circular 018/20

1. Introduction

Since the recalibration for the Liquidity Add-on in November 2019 (see Eurex Clearing circular 105/19), the observed market volumes in listed FX products have considerably increased. Therefore, we are updating the calibration for the liquidation group.

The Liquidity Add-on parameter concerns all products in Liquidation Group PFX01 and reviewed parameters will take effect on 2 March 2020

2. Required action

No specific actions are required.

3. Details of the initiative

The Liquidity Add-on is designed to capture potential additional costs when liquidating portfolios, where the key features are:

  • The Liquidity Add-on depends on the relative size of positions as compared to observed market volumes
  • The Liquidity Add-on depends on the current level of market risk of the respective products

Since the recalibration in November 2019, the observed market volumes in listed FX products have considerably increased. Therefore, we are updating the calibration for the liquidation group. The Liquidity Add-on parameter concerns all products in Liquidation Group PFX01 and reviewed parameters will take effect on 2 March 2020
 

Unless the context requires otherwise, terms used and not otherwise defined in this circular shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Clearing Conditions of Eurex Clearing AG.
