Foreign exchange (FX) derivatives: Correction of product group IDs for FX Futures, new expiry day for FX Futures and for FX Options in SIMULATION in July 2014 and editorial changes to the Contract Specifications for FX Futures

The product group IDs for foreign exchange (FX) futures specified in section 6 of Eurex circular 105/14, published on 27 May 2014, were incorrect. This circular provides the correct product group IDs for foreign exchange (FX) futures.

The expiry day for FX derivatives in simulation for the month of July 2014 will be on 2 July 2014
(Jul14 expiration).

We would further like to inform you of one editorial change to attachment 1 of Eurex circular 105/14. In that attachment, the new product “FX futures contracts” is assigned number "1.18" in the Contract Specifications for Futures Contracts and Options Contracts at Eurex Deutschland and Eurex Zürich. Instead, the new product “FX futures contracts” will be inserted as number "1.19".
