    • Effective Sunday, October 5, 2014 for trade date Monday, October 6, 2014, and pending all relevant CFTC regulatory review periods, the Board of Trade of the City of Chicago, Inc. (“CBOT” or “Exchange”) will amend CBOT Rule 580 (CME Globex Trade Matching Algorithms) to change the CME Globex trade matching algorithms for the following seven (7) CBOT Interest Rate futures:

       

      Product Title

      CBOT Rulebook Chapter

      Code

      		  
       

      30-Day Federal Funds Futures

      22

      ZQ                                 Clearing 41

      		  

      Short-Term U.S. Treasury Note Futures (2-Year)

      21

      ZT                                     Clearing 26

      		  

      3-Year U.S. Treasury Note Futures

      39

      Z3N                               Clearing 3YR

      		  

      Medium-Term U.S. Treasury Note Futures (5-Year)

      20

      ZF                               Clearing 25

      		  

      Long-Term U.S. Treasury Note Futures (6 ½ to 10-Year)

      19

      ZN                               Clearing 21

      		  

      U.S. Treasury Bond Futures

      18

      ZB                             Clearing 17

      		  

      Long-Term U.S. Treasury Bond Futures

      40

      UB                            Clearing UBE

      		  

       

      The allocation mix of the Trade Matching Algorithms for 2-Year, 3-Year, and 5-Year Treasury Note futures calendar spreads will be changed from 100% Pro-Rata to 20% First In First Out (FIFO)/80% Pro-Rata.

      The changes will conform the 2-Year, 3-Year, and 5-Year Treasury Note calendar spreads to the 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note calendar spread allocation mix. 

       

      Additionally, CBOT will simultaneously implement changes to the maximum and, in the case of 30-Day Federal Funds Futures, minimum parameters for orders with Top order status on CME Globex for the aforementioned products in the table above.  The Exchange will modify the maximum parameters such that they equal the Maximum Order Quantity (MOQ), and it will reduce the minimum parameters of 30-Day Federal Funds Futures to one.  These changes will harmonize the relevant CBOT products with the Top order settings for CME Three-Month Eurodollar futures.

       

      Please refer to CME Globex Notices and the GCC Product Reference Sheet for details regarding these changes to the Trade Matching Algorithms.
