Index options on Swiss indexes: harmonization of post-trading period

Effective June 25, 2012, the Management Boards of Eurex Deutschland and Eurex Zürich decided to harmonize the post-trading times of index options on the indexes SMI®, SMIM® and SLI Swiss Leader Index® with the post-trading times of all other index options.
The trading period “Post Trading Full“ will continue to start at 17:20 CET, as usual. At 19:00 CET, the “Late 1“ trading period will be introduced. Trading period “Post Full Restricted“ will start at 20:30 CET, instead of 19:00 CET, previously.
With this change, Eurex Clearing Members will have more time to use important back office functions, such as “Give-up/Take-up“ or “Account Management”.
