Effective 22 July 2019, the Management Board of Eurex Deutschland decided to adjust the Contract Specifications for DAX® index options, including Weekly Options, as follows:
- Introduction of a premium-based price gradation with defined thresholds;
- Adjustment of tradable exercise prices.
Premium-based price gradation:
The minimum price change below a premium of 25 index points remains unchanged at 0.1 index points. A premium of 25 to 249.5 index points increases the minimum price change to 0.5 index points. As of a premium of 250 index points, the minimum price change increases to 1.0 index points.
The premium-based price gradation will be valid for all order book transactions (including strategy transactions). However, it will not be applied for Eurex T7 Entry Service (TES) transactions. These will be entered in steps of 0.1 index points, as before.
