Euro STOXX 50® EoD Index Options: Introduction of additional expirations

Eurex Circular 117/25 Euro STOXX 50® EoD Index Options: Introduction of additional expirations

1. Introduction

The Management Board of Eurex Deutschland as decided to introduce five additional expirations in Euro STOXX 50® EoD Index Options (OEXP), with effect from 5 January 2026.

The requirements for Liquidity Providers valid as of 2 January 2026 already take into account the additional weekly expirations (see Eurex Circular 113/25).

Production start: 5 January 2026

2.    Required action

Liquidity Providers in OESX should adjust their quoting behavior accordingly. Trading Participants should adapt their trading and clearing systems to the new weekly expirations.

3.    Details of the initiative

Currently, Eurex offers five weekly expirations in EURO STOXX 50® EoD Index Options (OEXP) for each weekday from Monday to Friday. This ensures that there is an expiration in OEXP every day of the week. With the five additional weekly expirations, the second week will be offered, so that the first 10 trading days are fully covered in OEXP. The extension is intended to support additional, in-demand trading strategies.

The quoting requirements for Liquidity Providers will be adjusted accordingly (see Eurex Circular 113/25).

The Contract Specifications for Futures Contracts and Options Contracts at Eurex Deutschland do not require any changes, as the current version of OEXP already allows up to 10 weekly expirations.
