Eurex Bonds

Introduction of new functionality

In June 2016, we held a consultation amongst our Members about RFQ as new trading protocol for Eurex Bonds. The majority of the Members viewed this product positively. We would like to thank you for your feedback. Based on the consultation, we have now started the project.

The goal is to introduce a new user-friendly, web-based /FIX Eurex Bonds interface to the market. RFQ provides a convenient and highly flexible functionality for the traders to negociate prices for off-book trades and execute them faster an more efficienty. It also brings the user experience to the newest market standard replacing the current execution GUI. The current market standards, which are being implemented for the user interface, will accelerate and faciliate the integration for the market participants. The implementation of the new functionality is being carried out in consultation with market participants.

Please refer to this circular for details including timeline and supported features.
