ASX participants and users are advised that ASX will list 2 new Exchange Traded Option (ETO) Classes for trading on Tuesday 2 April 2024.
As is current policy the new ETO Classes will not have special size allocated initially.
The new ETO Classes will be reviewed every 3 months and those ETO Classes which meet ASX’s liquidity requirement will have Special Size crossing levels re-introduced. ETO crossings can still occur on the new ETO Classes but will need to be conducted on screen as opposed to a trade report whilst Special Size is not available.
Please refer to the below table for market making coverage in the new ETO Classes.
