The Management Board of Eurex Deutschland and the Executive Board of Eurex Zürich AG decided to extend the Market-Making scheme in Weekly Options on the DAX® and EURO STOXX 50® with minor changes from 1 January 2016 until 31 December 2016.
There is only the following amendment compared to the current scheme: As of January 2016, Market Makers will have to quote the next four weekly expiries instead of only the next two weekly expiries, as before. This number is reduced by one expiry, if the standard expiry (third Friday) is part of the next four weekly expiries.
There are still two alternatives to fulfil, which equally qualify for Market-Making rebates and revenue sharing of 15 percent which will be equally distributed among up to five Market Makers.
Product | Alternative 1 | Alternative 1 (spread) | Alternative 2 (size) | Alternative 2 (spread) |
DAX® Weeklies | 100 (front week) | 50% wider than ODAX | 50 (front week) | in line with ODAX |
EURO STOXX 50® Weeklies | 200 (front week) | 50% wider than OESX | 100 (front week) | in line with OESX |
An application for Market-Making in Weekly Options is not necessary.
