Eurex/TAIFEX link: Adjustments in Market-Making schemes for Daily Futures on TAIEX derivatives

Effective 15 May 2014, Daily Futures on TAIEX derivatives will be introduced at Eurex Exchange. At the same time, Market-Making schemes for Daily Futures on TAIEX futures (Designated Market-Making) and for Daily Futures on TAIEX options (Permanent Market-Making) will be offered. The Management Board of Eurex Deutschland and the Executive Board of Eurex Zürich AG passed the following changes to these schemes:
1. The minimum quote duration in both schemes will start as early as the start of trading at Eurex Exchange.
2. Additional incentives for Market Makers will be offered already for the month of May 2014.
3. In case more than the five Market Makers or two early adopters mentioned qualify for reimbursement, the higher number of contracts traded in the order book on the M-account per product and month shall decide which of the Market Makers/early adopters will receive the reimbursement.
