Cross Margining Agreement Review
LCH.Clearnet Ltd has undertaken a review of the current cross margining arrangement between the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), Liffe Administration and Management (NYSE Liffe Clearing) and LCH.Clearnet Ltd in the context of its own policies and standards and the new clearing arrangement with NYSE Liffe Clearing.
This review has concluded that substantial redesign would be necessary to maintain the arrangement, and that this cost would be disproportionate to the current usage and benefit derived from it. As a result, the Cross Margining Agreement will be terminated with effect from 21 February 2010.
The last offset calculation between CME and NYSE Liffe Clearing will therefore take place for the margin run following close of business on Friday 19 February 2010. As from the following Monday morning (22 February 2010) no further offset data will be shared between CME, NYSE Liffe Clearing and LCH.Clearnet.
