Index derivatives: Termination of trading in RDX® USD Index Derivatives – Details for the Fair Value Settlement
1. Introduction
As announced in Eurex Circular 024/22, the Management Board of Eurex Deutschland has decided to terminate trading in RDX® USD Index Derivatives (FRDX, ORDX), effective 3 March 2022 at the close of trading 17:30 CET (22:00 CET for FRDX), as orderly trading seems not to be ensured anymore.
Furthermore, it was announced that open positions on 3 March 2022 will be cash settled using the Fair value method based on index close that will be provided by Wiener Börse to Eurex or the last available index price before that if the index closing price cannot be provided on 3 March 2022.

This circular details the Fair value settlement procedure and applicable parameters.
