This year’s last exchange trading day will be Wednesday, December 30, 2009. This is also the last day of the year on which the Eurex® system allows exercises.
On the year’s last trading day some stock exchanges at which Eurex product underlying instruments are traded, reduce trading hours. At Eurex, trading of derivatives on products traded at these exchanges will also terminate at an earlier time.
Besides, Eurex will start the year-end batch on December 30, 2009 as soon as 19:00 CET. For this reason, trading hours and post-trading phases for some products will also change on that day.
For an overview of trading hours at Eurex on December 30, 2009 please see the attachment.
Please note that December 30, 2009 will be the last trading day for options on the Bund-, Bobl- and Schatz-Future with expiration January 2010.
Trading times for these options and corresponding futures will end at 17:15 CET.
Futures, for which the trading phase usually ends with a closing auction, will also end trading with a closing auction on December 30, 2009.
In order to harmonize clearing times in the Eurozone, December 24 and 31, 2009 have been included in the regular clearing and settlement calendar of Eurex Clearing AG.
Clearing systems will remain open on both days (see attachment).
