The Management Board of Eurex Deutschland, the Executive Board of Eurex Zürich and the Executive Board of Eurex Clearing AG decided to postpone the launch of FX futures and FX options on six currency pairs (EURUSD, EURCHF, EURGBP, GBPUSD, GBPCHF, USDCHF). The amendments to rules and regulations notified in Eurex circular 186/13 on 20 August 2013 and the admission to trading of the FX futures and FX options are therefore revoked until further notice.
The third party service provider bank that will give access to the Continuous Linked Settlement (CLS) system required for the settlement of FX futures and FX options has requested additional time to further strengthen the control framework. As a result, the Management Board of Eurex Deutschland has agreed to postpone the launch scheduled for 7 October 2013, and will announce a new launch date in due course.
