Euronext acknowledges Nasdaq’s decision to close down its current Seafood commodities clearing service in April 2024. Open positions at the time of termination will be maintained by Nasdaq until expiration (the longest dated contract being December 2024). Nasdaq and Fish Pool assess the possibility to offer close out transactions to net out open interest between April 7th 2024 until the last contract expires December 2024. Here is a link to the Nasdaq statement.
Euronext intends to introduce a new EUR-denominated Fish Pool contract, cleared by Euronext Clearing. Euronext is considering the possibility to introduce the contract as soon as summer 2024 and is starting to engage with market participants. Following this integration, members will benefit from Euronext’s enhanced distribution and liquidity, and a more streamlined and efficient trading experience. This contract will be cleared by Euronext Clearing, our pan-European multi-asset-class clearing house.
