Eurex Bonds

Treasury certificates: Change in trading parameters

Currently, zero bonds on Eurex Bonds are being quoted in yield-terms, with the exception of Dutch Treasury Certificates (DTCs). The change for DTCs took place effective December 2, 2011 (see Eurex Bonds circular 54/11 as of November 30, 2011).

Since the current release of the Eurex Bonds trading system Xetra® does not allow submission of negative yields, but the current market situation requires trading with negative yields, all treasury certificates tradable on Eurex Bonds will be changed from yield quotation to price quotation. In future, new treasury certificates will be set up in price quotation.

The change of the trading parameters will take place effective January 16, 2012. Please note that the change might render adjustments of your vendor applications such as ION, Icubic, etc. necessary.
