Limits of the indicative USD/RUB exchange rate deviation

CCP NCC has established the following limits of the indicative USD/RUB exchange rate deviation that are determined as per the Methodology for calculation of the indicative USD/RUB exchange rate used to determine obligations under derivatives contracts (the Rate):

if КТ>КТ-1*(1+R), then КТ=КТ-1*(1+R)
if КТ<КТ-1*(1-R), then КТ=КТ-1*(1-R),

where

КТ – the Rate used to calculate the minimum price tick on the current trading day T;
КТ-1 – the Rate used to calculate the minimum price tick during the evening clearing session on previous trading day Т-1;

For USD/RUB and EUR/RUB currency pairs the following exchange rate deviation is applied:

R = 2*MR1

where

MR1 – the minimum size of initial margin set for the underlying assets;

Exchange rate deviation applied to other currency pairs:

Currency pair Exchange rate deviation
JPY/RUB 8%
CHF/RUB 8%
CAD/RUB 30%
TRY/RUB 30%
CNY/RUB 10%
UAH/RUB 20%

In case values for determining R are not available, R shall be deemed equal to 0.1 (one tenth).

Maximum trade size allowed is 400,000 bonds.
