Nasdaq is set to implement a significant change in the tick size on Swedish Government and Mortgage bond futures. This alteration, to be carried out by Nasdaq Stockholm AB and Nasdaq Clearing AB, will impact the Nasdaq Government Bond Futures (SEK) and Mortgage Bond Futures (SEK) and is scheduled to coincide with the introduction of new futures contracts in Q3 of 2025.
The adjustment entails a shift in the tick size from 0.001 to 0.0001, pending updates to the rulebook. It is crucial to note that this modification will exclusively apply to futures contracts introduced from August 2025 onward, with existing futures remaining unaffected and maintaining a tick size of 0.001.
To ensure readiness for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and members, the tick size change has already been implemented for the SGB10YZ5 instrument in the EXT4 environment. Further details regarding these changes can be found in the accompanying document, and inquiries can be directed to FixedIncomeSweden@nasdaq.com for additional information.
