Pending all regulatory reviews, effective with the Open Session on October 30, 2018, for Trade Date October 31, 2018, the Exchange will list the following Futures Contract:
Exchange rules provide that the underlying interest in DV01 Treasury Futures contracts is the dollar value (DV01) of a one basis point change in yield of the current On-The-Run 10-year U.S. Treasury note with a face value of one million dollars having fixed semi-annual coupon payments, as determined by the Exchange. The Exchange has determined that the DV01 for TYDG is $850. TYDG prices are quoted in Yield-Derived Price, which is 100 minus the yield on the corresponding 10-year U.S. Treasury note expressed as a percentage. (For example, a yield of 2.065 percent shall be expressed as a Yield-Derived Price of 97.935.) The minimum increment is one tenth basis point (.001), which is equivalent to one-tenth of the contract month DV01. Accordingly, the TYDG minimum increment is $85.00. When the Exchange lists additional U.S. 10-YR DV01 Treasury Futures Contracts, each contract month will have a new and unique trading symbol. The dollar value (DV01), assigned by the Exchange at the time of listing will not change for the life of the contract month. There will never be a contract month listing (unique trading symbol) with variable DV01 dollar values. With the addition of TYDG, the exchange will list the inter-commodity spread between TYDX and TYDG to be tradable as a single instrument. Additional instruments may need to be added to the PTRM settings in order to access this instrument. For additional information, please contact NFX Market Operations or call 215.496.5409.
