Settlement service could reduce liquidity burdens

Eurex Clearing has struck a deal with CLS to utilise its net settlement service for cleared over-the-counter foreign exchange derivatives, Risk.net has learned.

The move allows Deutsche Börse-owned Eurex, which currently clears and settles forex futures and listed options, to add OTC forex products such as swaps and forwards to its clearing service.

“This co-operation [with CLS] allows us to further expand our forex product portfolio,” says Heike Eckert, deputy chief executive of Eurex
