Eurex结算业务推动美国互换业务发展

欧洲期货交易所结算所(Eurex Clearing AG)计划在2019年11月1日至12月31日期间，免除向期货经纪商结算会员及其客户提供掉期测试交易的收费，以加快资金向其美国掉期结算平台的转移。在获得CFTC批准，将其清算服务扩大到包括在美国提供客户掉期清算服务之后，Eurex在去年12月推出了符合多德-弗兰克法案的服务，该服务满足LSOC(Legally Segregated OPErationally Commingled，合法分离的操作混合)监管要求。2019年6月，巴克莱成为首家提供Eurex场外清算服务的欧洲银行。

Eurex Clearing结算第一笔€STR掉期

欧洲期货交易所结算所(Eurex Clearing)已完成其首笔€STR掉期交易，法国巴黎银行、花旗银行、德意志银行、摩根大通、伦敦商业银行、摩根士丹利、北欧银行和意大利联合信贷银行率先在法兰克福进行了€STR掉期交易。自欧洲央行10月2日开始公布新的基准无风险利率以来，Eurex是继伦敦清算所之后第二个开始清算€STR掉期的中央对手方。由于€STR由欧洲央行维持，它的建立代表着加强欧盟27国监管控制的重要部分，首笔交易反映了欧洲市场和全球银行的良好组合。与其它银行一样，这些银行将继续通过Bloomberg和Tradeweb平台，提供流动性和价格透明度。

Eurex Clearing clears first €STR swap

Eurex Clearing has cleared its first €STR swaps, with BNP Paribas, Citi, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, LBBW, Morgan Stanley, Nordea and UniCredit the first to trade €STR swaps cleared in Frankfurt. Eurex Clearing is the second CCP to begin clearing €STR swaps since the ECB began publishing the new benchmark risk-free rate on 2 October, after LCH a month ago. As €STR is maintained by the ECB, its establishment represents an important part of strengthening regulatory control within the EU27.This reflects a good mix of European market and global banks. Along with a number of other banks they will continue to provide liquidity and price transparency via Bloomberg and Tradeweb’s execution platforms.
