3. Details
Due to the COVID-19 crisis and extraordinary high volatility in March 2020, Eurex had decided to postpone elements of the framework to confine speculative triggering.
From Eurex’s viewpoint, volatility has come down throughout the last weeks and many participants have adjusted to the current travel and work restrictions, which resulted in a stabilisation of the overall situation. Eurex has therefore decided to introduce the last two measures to finalise the framework for speculative triggering.
To avoid any disruption, introduction will take place in two steps, as outlined in the table below:
Introduction in production | Measure | |
