New Security Type Support

Effective Sunday, December 14, 2014 (trade date Monday, December 15), CME ClearPort API will support a new SecurityType (SecTyp=”IRS”) for Interest Rate Swaps for the following message types:

• Product Reference Data
  • CME ClearPort Products Request Messages (//SecDefReq/Instrmt)
  • Futures Maturities Request Messages (//SecDefReq/Instrmt)
  • Security Definition Response Messages (//SecDef/Instrmt)
• Entity Reference Data
  • Party Entitlement Request Messages (//PtyEntlmntReq/InstrmtScope)
  • Party Entitlement Report Messages (//PtyEntlmntRpt/InstrmtScope)
• Outbound Trade Capture Reports
  • An Interest Rate Swap (IRS) leg (of a CME ClearPort UI submitted CBOT Treasury Invoice Swap Block Trade) may be returned upon Trade Capture Report Request (//TrdCaptRpt/Instrmt)
    • The corresponding Treasury Futures and IRS Legs will appear as separate, but related Trade Capture Reports (Both will share a common LinkID attribute at the Trade Capture Report level of each message)

Please note: At this time CME ClearPort API will not support the submission CBOT Treasury Invoice Swap block trades.
