The reporting and position limits for the March 2009 contracts in the Euro Fixed Income Futures were set as follows:
· Euro-Buxl® Future (FGBX) 30.000 contracts
· Euro-Bund Future (FGBL) 65.000 contracts
· Euro-Bobl Future (FGBM) 50.000 contracts
· Euro-Schatz Future (FGBS) 45.000 contracts
Position limits apply only to long positions in the front month contracts of the products concerned. Reporting limits will be valid from February 27, 2009 to March 3, 2009, close of trading. Exceeding reporting limits will cause the Eurex Exchanges to request information from the exchange participant. Position limits will be valid from March 4, 2009, start of trading, until maturity of the September contract on March 6, 2009. Long positions in March 2009 contracts must therefore be within the prescribed limits at start of trading on March 4, 2009.
The limits will be monitored intraday by Eurex Market Supervision and the Trading Surveillance Office. Immediate position adjustments 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.
