Eurex Circular 022/21 Euro-OAT Futures, Long-Term Euro-BTP Futures and Short-Term Euro-BTP Futures: Introduction of intra-day non-disclosure limits

1.  Introduction

With effect from 1 April 2021, the Management Board of Eurex Deutschland decided to introduce intra-day non-disclosure limits for trades entered using the Eurex T7 Entry Services (TES) in Euro-OAT Futures, Long-Term Euro-BTP Futures and Short-Term Euro-BTP Futures. 

Production start: 1 April 2021

2.  Action required

There is no required action. Trading Participants may choose between intra-day disclosure and non-disclosure in the TES trade entry window of the T7 Trader GUI for trades in Euro-OAT Futures, Long-Term Euro-BTP Futures and Short-Term Euro-BTP Futures.

3.  Details of the initiative

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 Eurex 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 1 April 2021, the following non-disclosure limits will apply:
