titleEBS ilink3 FAK/FOK Credit Enhancements

Effective Sunday, August 13 (trade date Monday, August 14), CME Group will implement enhancements to iLink 3 EBS Fill and Kill (FAK) and Fill or Kill (FOK) order behavior where credit is insufficient. With this change, if an FAK/FOK order cannot match due to insufficient bilateral credit, it will be accepted and then cancelled.

If an FAK/FOK order cannot match due to insufficient bilateral credit, Whisperer clients will receive ExecutionReport with OrdStatus = New and subsequently ExecutionReport with OrdStatus = Cancelled.

Currently, if an FAK/FOK order cannot match due to insufficient bilateral credit, the order is accepted and eliminated.

Background of EBS Market NDF Trading

  • EBS Market (CLOB) operates Spot FX and precious metals markets under the legal entity EBS SERVICE COMPANY LIMITED (MIC: EBSC)
  • NDFs operated under the same legal entity venue as Spot and Precious Metals until 2013. 
  • In 2013, a Swap Execution Facility (SEF) called NEX SEF (MIC: NEXS) was launched to address regulatory requirements in the US. 
  • US-located clients began trading “on-SEF”, while EMEA and APAC continued trading “off-SEF” on the legacy venue. 
  • In 2017, the off-SEF instruments were migrated to a separate regulated venue, a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) called BEL MTF (MIC: XEBS). 
  • Late last year, the CFTC reaffirmed the no-action relief previously given to MTF venues, allowing full access from US participants (previously restricted to accessing only SEF venues.) 
  • This cleared the way for CME to merge all NDF trading onto the MTF, thus removing bifurcation from the NDF market. 

Single Liquidity Pool (SLP)Timeline: Beginning 30 September 2024, EBS Market NDFs will no longer trade on the NEX SEF and the BEL MTF; all NDF trading will happen on the BEL MTF. 

  • No changes will occur to existing MTF trading, connectivity or venue setup. 
  • SEF trading will no longer be allowed (order entry disabled)
  • SEF will remain live for contingency purposes
