    • (This SER supersedes SER #7232R dated November 7, 2014 to provide clarifying language with respect to the final settlement price of expiring USD/CLP futures following the last trading day.)

       

      Effective Sunday, November 23, 2014 for trade date Monday, November 24, 2014, and pending all CFTC regulatory review periods, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. (CME or Exchange) will launch a new U.S. Dollar/Chilean Peso (USD/CLP) futures contract (Rulebook chapter:  345; Code:  CHL) for trading on CME Globex and for submission for clearing through CME ClearPort starting with the January 2015 contract month.

       

      The new USD/CLP futures contract calls for cash settlement; will be quoted using OTC pricing conventions of Chilean pesos per U.S. dollar; will feature a notional contract size of 100,000 U.S. dollars; offer monthly and quarterly contract listings out two years; and trade in a minimum tick size of 0.01 Chilean pesos per one U.S. dollar (1,000 CLP) for outright and calendar spread transactions.  Since USD/CLP futures will be quoted on a flipped basis that is the inverse of the traditional CME pricing convention for foreign exchange futures, pays and collects in USD/CLP futures will be translated from Chilean pesos and banked in U.S. dollars daily.
