Release Items/Participants Requirements
Feature/Enhancement | Details | Action Item |
Negative transaction (trade) and settlement prices | With the introduction of this release, C7 will support
for Futures products. ECC products will be supported, but Eurex Clearing clients nevertheless must consider some format changes to some report fields definition. The report fields will be updated to accommodate negative prices. | There is no action required from Clearing Members. |
Total Return Futures (TRF) Strategy | T7 will introduce a new complex instrument type called Total Return Futures (TRF) Strategy, where new strategies may or may not have different products in the legs. The first leg will be a TRF, and the second leg may be any type of future (regular, TRF, MOC). This new complex instrument type (TRF Strategy=14) will have different instrument subtypes associated to it (fix tag 29010 - Security Sub Types). | Clients interested in this functionality should test the new value “14=TRF Strategy” for field 28587 (Related Product Complex) in FIXML, the inclusion of the “Strategy Type” filter in C7 GUI windows, and the addition of the 'TRF Strategy' field to relevant C7 reports. |
Cross-Product Margining for U.S. FCM Clients | Eurex Clearing intends to provide this service to include all U.S.-based FCM Clearing Members and their clients so they can also benefit from margin efficiencies under the LSOC clearing model and is subject to regulatory approval by CFTC. | Clients interested in this functionality should test the new value “109” for the field '830 - TransferReason' in FIXML and the ability to inquire linked RNUs of U.S. Clearing Members and FCM Clearing Members via the C7 GUI window "Risk Netting Unit Overview". Additionally, the new C7 report CB732 LSOC CPM Target Position Status Report will display ETD target portfolios for cross-product margining. |
