Effective Wednesday, June 29, 2011, spread classes for some equity index options will be adjusted. Above all, this refers to options on the three indexes EURO STOXX 50Ò, DAXÒ and SMI.
The new spread classes correspond to a greater degree to current quoting behaviour and are intended to simplify quoting of options in-the-money.
