Alignment with the international market increases liquidity and reduces spreads in contracts.

Until now, foreign currency futures contracts with real pairs and dollar pairs follow the following pattern:

  • Fixing date: Last business day of the month prior to maturity.
  • Maturity date: First business day of the contract month.

 

 

To align B3's foreign currency futures contracts with the international market, we will adopt maturity and fixing dates aligned with the International Money Market standard.See how it will work:

Foreign Currencies (EUP, GBR, AUS, JAP, SWI, NZL, NOK, SEK, TUQ, MEX, AFS, CNH)

  • Fixing date: Third Monday of the expiration month
  • Maturity date: Third Tuesday of the expiration month

Canadian Dollar (CAN)

  • Fixing date: Third Tuesday of the expiration month
  • Maturity date: Third Wednesday of the expiration month

The other characteristics of the contracts, such as size, margin and trading rules, will not be changed. The alignment of dates facilitates strategies between B3 and international markets, stimulating our market, which can lead to an increase in the volume traded on the screen and a reduction in spreads.

Allows trading contracts based on the stock market’s future expectations in four major segments: interest rate, currencies, indices and commodities.
