INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES

New Designated Market-Making Scheme for Euro-Buxl® Futures

On March 10, 2008, Eurex has launched a new Market-Making scheme for Euro-Buxl® Futures. The new program is to substantially enhance liquidity in the futures contracts based on 30-year German government bonds.

In their capacity as Designated Market Makers, Eurex participants agree to quote streaming two- way prices (quotes) for a specified minimum number of contracts during a set period of time, each subject to a maximum bid/ask spread. Designated Market Makers satisfying these requirements will get a refund from Eurex, covering all trading and clearing fees accruing on contracts that have been concluded on a Market Maker account. In addition, they will each receive monthly payments in 2008 and a share in revenue in 2009, with levels depending on their respective trading share within the group of Designated Market Makers. The payments and revenue share will be granted on con- dition that a certain trading volume is reached on a daily basis. The incentive program for Designated Market Makers will be valid from March 10 through December 31, 2008.

Significant Liquidity Boost Expected The scheme is aimed at markedly enhancing both liquidity and volumes in Euro-Buxl® Futures, targeting an inside market of 40 to 50 contracts along with a maximal spread of three ticks. The expected liquidity boost will enable further firms to trade at Eurex. By the end of 2008, daily trading volumes are expected to be averaging 10,000 contracts or 1,000 transactions, with Eurex striving for 25,000 con- tracts by the end of 2009.

Open Interest Exceeding 50,000 Contracts The Euro-Buxl® Future is currently the only 30-year bond futures contract available in Europe. Since its launch on September 9, 2005, more than 3.3 million contracts have been traded. The daily average of more than 6,200 contracts reached in 2007 represents an increase of 26 percent over the previous year. The number of transactions concluded over the last year averaged more than 750 per day, with open interest increasing from an average of 30,000 contracts at the end of 2006 to 50,000 contracts at the end of 2007. Meanwhile, the roll-over dates were underpinned by buoyant trading activity and liquidity, as well as strong market depth in the calendar spreads. So far, a total of more than 90 companies, end customers, banks and proprietary trading firms have participated in the Euro-Buxl® Futures market.

INFLATION DERIVATIVES

Hedging Using Euro-Inflation Futures: A Practical Example

Zero-coupon inflation swaps, in addition to asset swaps and year-on-year inflation swaps, represent the most frequently traded and most liquid over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. The following example illustrates how zero-coupon inflation swaps can be efficiently hedged using Euro-Inflation Futures.

A zero-coupon inflation swap typically involves the exchange of a fixed coupon against payments linked to a particular inflation rate. Such an inflation rate is calculated based on the movements in the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) of the Eurozone excluding tobacco over a certain period of time. While the fixed coupon is already known at the time of entering into a swap trans-

action, alongside the HICP (t 0), inflation-based final cash flows only arise on the swap’s final maturity date (t) – along with the publication of the consumer price index.

Zero-coupon inflation swaps involve a single cash flow at the end of their term; their value during their term is in line with the development of the underlying consumer price index. In contrast, year-on-year inflation swaps are subject to payment on a yearly basis, while the underlying indexes to measure inflation are also calculated annually.

A trader entered into a zero-coupon inflation swap with a notional amount of EUR 10 million, value dated July 16, 2003, obligating him to pay inflation over a five-year term, based on the difference of the HICP June 2003 against June 2008. In return, the trader will receive a fixed coupon of two percent.

Payment for zero-coupon inflation swaps is exchanged only at maturity, with the fixed side typically involving a fixed sum and the floating side the equivalent of the inflation rate accumulated over the respective term. The cash flow of a zero-coupon inflation swap is determined as follows:

Floating side (inflation): HICP(t) / HICP(t0) – 1 Notional n Fixed side (fixed coupon): (1 + Fixed Rate) – 1 Notional, with n = t – t0 = swap maturity in years

At the time of the swap transaction, the applicable reference index (see box on page 7) was the HICP excluding tobacco for June 2003 (at 96.20), published by Eurostat in July 2003. As for the HICP in June 2008, a level of approximately 107.20 is currently priced into the market. Assuming a fixing of the HICP at 107.20 in mid-June 2008, this will result in the following swap cash flow:

Cash flow (inflation): 107.20(June 2008)/ 96.20(June 2003) – 1 = 11.43% = EUR –1,143,451.14 Cash flow (fixed): (1+2.00%)5 – 1 = 10.41% = EUR +1,040,808.03 Balance = EUR –102,643.11

Specifically, this means that, with this transaction notionally worth EUR 10 million, the swap trader incurs an obligation to pay EUR 102,643.11 on July 16, 2008. With this position on his books, the trader wishes to hedge against a stronger increase in inflation – being tantamount to an increase in the HICP – as early as today. If the HICP rose by ten basis points, the amount to be paid from the swap would change as follows:

Cash flow (inflation): 107.30(June 2008) / 96.20(June 2003) – 1 = 11.54% = EUR –1,153,846.15 Cash flow (fixed): (1+2.00%)5 – 1 = 10.41% = EUR +1,040,808.03 Balance = EUR –113,038.12

5 Xpand März 08 E 18.03.2008 18:39 Uhr Seite 6

Hence a ten basis point increase in the HICP leads to a change in cash flow from the swap transaction by EUR 10,395.011, to be paid by the trader.

The risk resulting from an increase in the index as outlined above can be hedged using Eurex Euro- Inflation Futures. What needs to be done first, is to calculate the sensitivity to a ten basis point change for the July 2008 Euro-Inflation Futures contract:

Final Settlement Price Jul08: 100 – 100 (107.20(June 2008) / 104.14(June 2007) – 1) = 97.0616 Final Settlement Price Jul08: 100 – 100 (107.30(June 2008) / 104.14(June 2007) – 1) = 96.9656 Difference = 0.096

Every change in the HICP by ten basis points will result in a price change for the July 2008 futures contract of 9.6 ticks, or EUR 960. In order to hedge his position and the swap’s fixing risk against a further rise of the HICP, the trader must sell eleven contracts (EUR 10,395.01: EUR 960.00 = 10.83) of the July 2008 Euro-Inflation Future at 97.06 each.

On July 17, 2008, Eurostat will publish the HICP ex tobacco – for the purpose of this example, we assume a price level of 107.60. The Final Settlement Price for the July 2008 futures contract is calculated based on the published HICP as well as the relevant index level from June of last year (i.e. 104.14):

Final Settlement Price Jul08: 100 – 100 (107.60(June 2008) / 104.14(June 2007) – 1) = 96.6775

From the eleven contracts involved, the trader receives a positive cash flow of:

11 contracts 38.25 ticks (97.06 – 96.6775) EUR 100 (tick value) = EUR 42,075.00

The assumed fixing of the HICP for June 2008 at 107.60 results in the following payments for the zero-coupon inflation swap:

Cash flow (inflation): 107.60(June 2008) /96.20(June 2003) – 1 = 11.85% = EUR –1,185,031.19 Cash flow (fixed): (1+2.00%)5 – 1 = 10.41% = EUR +1,040,808.03 Balance = EUR –144,223.16

With the index level at 107.60, the trader incurs an obligation from the swap transaction to pay EUR 144,223.16 on July 16, 2008. His overall cash flow has changed by EUR 41,580.652. At the same time, the trader receives EUR 42,075 from his hedge position based on the eleven Euro-Inflation Futures contracts, allowing him to fully offset his potential loss.

Trading, clearing and settlement of the new Eurex inflation futures are based on internationally recognized standards, enjoying the benefits typically associated with Eurex: high liquidity, thanks to a large number of market participants, along with cost-efficient straight-through processing and counterparty risk elimination through Eurex Clearing AG.

1 EUR 10,395.01 is the result of deducting EUR –102,643.11 from EUR –113,038.12. 2 EUR 41,580.65 is the difference of EUR –144,223.16 from EUR –102,642.51.

Discourse: Reference Price Determination The reference price is determined and published by the Statistical Office of the European Communities, Eurostat. Determination takes place once a month, at the latest on the 18th calendar day following the end of the reference month (except for January, where the reference price is not published until the end of February). Eurostat also publishes a projection for the HICP at the end of each reference month, however, only with respect to the Eurozone’s overall index (that is HICP including tobacco).

EUREX REPO

New Open and Variable Repo Contracts Offer More Flexibility in Repo Trading

On March 17, 2008, Eurex Repo introduced the new contract types Open Repo and Variable Repo for GC and Special Repo trading. The new features add a new level of efficiency to daily trading.

For the first time market participants can trade a repo on open terms with all the benefits of the standard trading and clearing processes with Eurex Clearing AG acting as a central counterparty, therefore increasing trading flexibility and combining this with reduced risk.

Open Repo: Trading on Open Terms Open Repo contracts can be traded by simply agreeing on the front leg details and profit from the flexibility of changing the repo rates and closing dates at any time. The bilateral repo rate change functionality enables fast reaction to market movements and is operated with T+1 value date. Either party may close the open term on any trading day until 16:00 CET with T+2 value date for the term leg settlement. The closing alerts make sure that the respective counterparty is proactively informed. The repo rate change and closing requests can easily be entered in the “Own Trade Overview”.

Variable Repo: Trading on Variable Repo Rates The repo rate of a Variable Repo correlates with the public interest reference rate EONIA (daily fixing at 19:00 CET). The repo rates are priced as a spread in basis points to EONIA and are fixed for the lifetime of the Variable Repo trade. During the regular trading hours the calculation of the provisional term amount is based on the EONIA rate from the previous business day. In the event that the EONIA reference rate changes on the last day of the contract after end of business, Eurex Clearing AG initiates an adjustment of the settling amounts. Furthermore, market participants can use the combination of the two contract types. Whatever feature is suitable for their purposes, the application is easy to handle on the trading screen.

MARKET TRENDS

Mutual Recognition in the U.S. in Progress

The so-called mutual recognition considered by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) promises to provide new trading opportunities for Eurex and its members to come out of the United States. Mutual recognition is the formal term for the process whereby securities and derivatives regu- lators recognize their international counterparts’ regulatory programs as being equivalent to their own.

Later this year the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is expected to announce a framework for recognizing selected European and other regulations and allowing among other things foreign exchanges to substitute their compliance with their domestic regulators for full registration in the U.S. 8 Xpand März 08 E 18.03.2008 18:39 Uhr Seite 9

Currently, Eurex offers U.S. residents the ability to trade directly interest rate futures and options while its equity-related products are restricted to index futures (please also see page 3).

These products are under the jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission which, in its own version of mutual recognition, has allowed foreign exchanges to operate trading terminals in the U.S. since 1996. Today, Eurex has 70 members in the U.S.

With the advent of a mutual recognition framework by SEC in the U.S., Eurex expects many more Eurex products will be available in the U.S. for trading. This means that U.S. residents will finally be able to trade Eurex equity index options alongside the currently tradable Eurex equity index futures. At least at first, mutual recognition will probably not extend to all Eurex options but will instead concentrate on the most actively traded DAX® and Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Options as well as options on equities whose primary listing is on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
