In their session on July 27, 2005, the Management Boards of the Eurex Exchanges made the decision to set the position limits for the September 2005 contracts in the Euro Fixed Income Futures as follows:
The limits apply only to long positions in the front month contracts of the products concerned, and will be valid from September 1, 2005 until September 8, 2005. Positions must therefore be within the prescribed limits after closen of trading on August 31, 2005.
The position limits will be monitored intra-day by Eurex Market Supervision and the Trading Surveillance Office. Same-day position adjustments of the instruments should be made by using the Trade Adjustment function (Open/Close Adjustment) instead of the Position Close Out, in order to avoid such transactions being subject to late closing fees.
Proprietary trading positions and client positions will be considered separately. In relation to limit violations on client accounts, please note that, according to the Exchange Rules, no single client may hold or control an aggregate position which exceeds the defined position limit.
