3.    Details of the initiative

To further support the adoption of the existing Credit Index Futures product suite, Eurex will amend the following Product Specific Supplements (PSS) as of 1 June 2025:

  • Fixed Income 20 – Eurex EURO Credit Index Futures, covering Bloomberg MSCI Euro Corporate Screened Index Futures (FECX) and Bloomberg Liquidity Screened Euro High Yield Bond Index Futures (FEHY)
  • Fixed Income 21 – Eurex USD Credit Index Futures, covering Bloomberg US Corporate Index Futures (FUIG) and Bloomberg US High Yield Very Liquid Index Futures (FUHY).
  • Fixed Income 22 – Eurex Global Credit Index Futures, covering Bloomberg Emerging Market USD Sovereign & Sovereign Owned Index Futures (FUEM) and Bloomberg Sterling Liquid Corporate Index Futures (FGBC).

In all three PSSs, the methodology of ranking the Liquidity Providers will change to take into account each Liquidity Provider improvement of the maximum bid-offer spread and minimum quote size required to be quoted according to Tier 1 Quoting Obligations.

Liquidity Providers should adjust their quotation behavior accordingly.

The amendments shall be deemed approved unless objected to Eurex Frankfurt AG and Eurex Clearing AG within a period of two weeks after notification of this circular pursuant to Number 4 (2) of the Liquidity Provider Agreement.
