Eurex changes

This information is subject to change so please monitor your open positions and orders, and if you have any questions, contact our Client Management team.

On Monday 10th December the Eurex exchange will be changing its opening times. Eurex is the exchange for Germany 30, EU Stocks 50, Euro Bund, Euro Bobl and Euro Shatz.

The exchange will open at 00:15 GMT and there will be changes to our market hours.

The grey market hours for the Germany 30 market will shorten and exchange marketing pricing will lengthen.
