Last trading day and final settlement day
Last trading day is the final settlement day.

Close of trading in the maturing futures on the last trading day is at 11:00 CET.
Daily settlement price
The daily settlement price for the current maturity month of Three-Month EURIBOR Futures is derived from the volume-weighted average of the prices of all transactions during the minute before 17:15 CET (reference point), provided that more than five trades transacted within this period.
For the remaining maturity months, the daily settlement price for a contract is determined based on the average bid/ask spread of the combination order book.
Final settlement price
The final settlement price is established by Eurex on the final settlement day at 11:00 CET; based on the reference interest rate for three-month euro term deposits as determined by the European Money Markets Institute. To fix the final settlement price, the numerical value of the EURIBOR rate is rounded to three decimal places and then subtracted from 100.
