Equity Basis Blocks

Effective Dec. 13, ICE Futures U.S. introduced Equity Basis Blocks (EBBs) as an eligible block trade type.  In an EBB trade, the futures price is determined as a basis to the value of a basket of the underlying equities which are bought or sold by one of the parties over the course of a pre-determined, agreed upon period of time during a trading session. More details are provided in the following link >

MSCI Daily Futures Contracts

On Dec. 5, ICE Futures U.S. introduced MSCI Daily Futures Contracts (DFCs) for 17 MSCI futures contracts. DFCs cash-settle to the closing price of the underlying MSCI equity index. DFCs can be traded as an outright trade or can be traded with the eligible quarterly contract as a spread vs. the quarterly maturity of the futures contract (both legs referencing the same underlying index). DFCs provide market participants with a viable mechanism to execute MSCI Index Futures contracts “basis trades” relative to official MSCI Index closing prices.
