1. Introduction
The Management Board of Eurex Deutschland decided, with effect from 3 August 2020, to introduce intra-day non-disclosure limits for Block Trades entered using the Eurex T7 Entry Services (TES) in weekly index options on the DAX® (ODX1/2/4/5), EURO STOXX® 50 (OES1/2/4/5, OMSX), EURO STOXX® Banks (OEB1/2/4/5) or SMI® (OSM1/2/4/5).
- Production start: 3 August 2020
2. Required action
There is no required action. Trading Participants may choose between intra-day disclosure and non-disclosure in the Block Trade entry window of the T7 Trader GUI for Block Trades in the weekly index options resp. month-end options on DAX®, EURO STOXX® 50, EURO STOXX® Banks or SMI®.
3. Details
Non-disclosure is an optional feature for transactions above a certain volume threshold. Where this threshold is reached or exceeded, the entering trader of bilateral TES or EnLight trades can select intraday publication or non-disclosure by Eurex Exchange’s T7 for these trades. The default setting for transactions above a certain volume threshold is set to non-disclosure in T7.
Effective 3 August 2020, the following non-disclosure limits will apply:
Product | Non-disclosure limit |
ODX1/ODX2/ODX4/ODX5 | 5,000 contracts |
OES1/OES2/OES4/OMSX | 25,000 contracts |
OEB1/OEB2/OEB4/OEB5 | 50,000 contracts |
OSM1/OSM2/OSM4/OSM5 | 2,500 contracts |
As announced in Eurex Clearing circular 053/20, the fee for individual non-disclosed TES or Eurex EnLight trades in the above-mentioned index options, as detailed in that circular’s attachment, will be charged as of 3 August 2020.
