3.   Details

A. Tradability of additional derivatives

Eurex Deutschland has received approval from the “Commodity Futures Trading Commission” (CFTC) to offer trading of additional Futures in the U.S., so that these contracts can be made available for trading in the U.S.

The multicast addresses for data distribution remain unchanged. However, the following changes have been made for the port numbers:

  • Snapshot messages: Change from 59032 to 59000
  • Incremental messages: Change from 59033 to 59001

The corresponding new "capacity group" for MSCI Vietnam Index Futures is “Cash USD – CFTC” (previously: “Cash USD”).

According to Eurex Deutschland's registration as a "Foreign Board of Trade", the above-mentioned products can be offered or sold to persons in the U.S. via Eurex terminals with direct access in the U.S.

B. Upcoming transition from non-narrow-based to narrow-based and withdrawal of U.S. direct access

The STOXX® Europe 600 Insurance Futures will transition from non-narrow-based security index futures to narrow-based security index futures effective at the close of trading of 22 July 2025. Accordingly, the CFTC will be withdrawing its non-narrow-based certification for the contracts at this upcoming date.

After the close of trading on 22 July 2025, STOXX® Europe 600 Insurance Futures contracts will be security futures and must therefore be traded in accordance with both the U.S. securities and commodity futures laws.

Eurex Exchange notes that, in order to ensure compliance, its 14 July 2025 withdrawal of direct access tradability for U.S. Eurex Participants is in advance of the official date of the STOXX® Europe 600 Insurance Index’s transition to a narrow-based security index.

All Trading Participants are reminded that all trading of eligible FSFPs for U.S. accounts must comply with the 2009 SEC Order, the Commodity Exchange Act, and the terms of Eurex Circular 105/21.

The multicast addresses for data distribution remain unchanged. However, the following changes have been made for the port numbers:

  • Snapshot messages: Port change from 59000 to 59032
  • Incremental messages: Port change from 59001 to 59033

The corresponding new "capacity group" for STOXX® Europe 600 Insurance Futures is "Cash/Physical EUR" (previously: "Cash/Physical EUR - CFTC").
