A new delivery month is created on the first trading day following the closing of a delivery month. Margin calls are made on the basis of the daily settlement price. During the trading halt, a call for additional margin may be made. Information concerning these freeze thresholds can be obtained from trading members, who receive continuous dissemination of such information. A participant who does not wish his order to be executed in the evening session must expressly stipulate this condition when placing the order with the intermediary.
Fees are subject to applicable value-added taxes.
