The reporting and position limits for the March 2010 contracts in the Euro Fixed Income Futures were set as follows:
Position limits apply only to long positions in the front month contracts of the products concerned. Reporting limits will be valid from February 26, 2010 to March 3, 2010, 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, 2010, start of trading, until expiry of the March contract on March 8, 2010. Long positions in March 2010 contracts must therefore be within the prescribed limits at start of trading on March 4, 2010.
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.
