Eurex

Extension of trading hours for selected benchmark futures and MSCI futures

As already announced in previous Eurex circulars, Eurex Deutschland is planning to extend its trading hours for selected Equity Index Futures (incl. MSCI Futures) and Fixed Income Futures as of
10 December 2018.

This circular is to reconfirm the trading hours and the products which are in scope for the extended trading hours. Both the planned trading schedule and the product scope remained unchanged since the announcements in Eurex circular 052/18, dated 4 July 2018.

We would also like to inform you about changes to the rules and regulations of Eurex Deutschland, which have been approved by the Exchange Council, to reduce operational requirements for Trading Participants during the extended trading hours.

Additionally, we provide information on selected technical aspects around the extension of trading hours.
