Agenda Summary Market analysis of the DAX Futures Contract details DAX highlights About Eurex Exchange Q&A 2
Summary Eurex Exchange launched Mini-DAX Futures (FDXM) on 28 October 2015 With the positive stock performance in the last few years and DAX being at levels of up to 12,000 points, the contract size of the DAX Futures has peaked at 300,000 EUR at the beginning of this year. At this level, the arguments in favor of a smaller contract become even more pronounced: for retailers and smaller institutional firms the contract is simply too heavy, and for bigger institutions it is difficult to hedge accurately. A wide market consultation held in Q1 & Q2 2015 showed a strong support of the idea of a smaller contract, with a preference for the parallel Mini-DAX Futures. Successful launch of a parallel Mini-DAX Futures on 28 October 2015. 3
