MiFID II/MiFIR: Changes in minimum block trade sizes for Eurex products

The regulatory changes of the revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) and the associated Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR) will come into effect on 3 January 2018.

Therefore, Eurex Deutschland and Eurex Zürich AG (collectively: the Eurex Exchanges) decided to adjust the minimum block trade sizes to ensure that all TES trades qualify for pre-trade transparency waivers under MiFIR regulations. The amended Contract Specifications are attached to this circular.
