1. Introduction
The Management Board of Eurex Deutschland took the following decisions with effect from 7 December 2026:
Production start: 7 December 2026
2. Required action
Trading Participants should review and, if necessary, adjust their trading and clearing systems with regard to the new tick sizes. Please note that to implement the measure, the parameters “InstrumentPricePrecision”, “MinPriceIncrement” and “MinPriceIncrementAmount” must be adjusted.
3. Details of the initiative
With effect from 7 December 2026:
A. Equity index futures
The tick size in off-book trading for Standardised Futures Strategies, in particular calendar spread contracts, will be amended and harmonised to 0.001 index points for all equity index futures pursuant to Section 1.3.1 of the Contract Specifications. In total, 93 products will be adjusted to the new tick size.
B. Eurex Market-on-Close Futures on EURO STOXX 50® Index Futures
The tick size in off-book trading for Eurex Market-on-Close Futures on EURO STOXX 50® Index Futures pursuant to Section 1.25.1 of the Contract Specifications will be amended to 0.001 index points.
Please note that to implement the measure, the tick size and the tick value for the respective product must be adjusted. The number of decimal places will be uniformly expanded to three decimal places and will apply at product level. Consequently, three decimal places will be visible for all products, both for TES trades and in the order book. However, the tradable minimum price increment remains unchanged for the order book as well as for TES trades in outright transactions (simple instruments). For Eurex Market-on-Close Futures on EURO STOXX 50® Index Futures, the new tick size of 0.001 index points will apply to all TES trades.
The objective of both measures is to reduce the number of entries required for off-book transactions.
