Emergency communication: Introduction of a Market Status Indicator

In conjunction with its emergency communication, Eurex Deutschland and Eurex Zürich will introduce the tool “Market Status Indicator” for Eurex Exchange’s trading system (MIC: XEUR), serving as an additional information source in case of emergency situations effective 1 February 2016. The new tool will be available in the lower right area of the Eurex website www.eurexchange.com. It will contain a direct link to the Production Newsboard.

The Market Status Indicator will provide near-time information about the current status of the trading system. It signals whether newsboard messages regarding the technical availability of the trading system have been published or will be distributed shortly.

The market status window is an indication regarding the current technical availability of the trading system. It indicates whether news board messages regarding current technical issues of the trading system have been published or will be published shortly.

Please find further information about incident handling in the Emergency Playbook published on the Eurex webpage under Support --> Emergencies and safeguards. Detailed information about incident communication, market re-opening procedures and best practices for order and trade reconciliation can be found in the chapters 4.2, 4.3 and 4.5, respectively. Concrete information for the respective incident will be published during the incident via newsboard message. 

We strongly recommend not to take any decisions based on the indications in the market status window but to always check the production news board for comprehensive information on an incident.
