    Basis Trade at Close

    • Basis trades are quoted and agreed in terms of the difference between the futures price and today’s closing values of the underlying index.
    • Technically, basis trades are defined as separate instruments with their own order books. This allows trading participants to enter orders and trades with a price expressed as a differential in index points, which is to be added to that day’s index closing value to set the actual futures price. The differential can be a positive, negative or zero value.
    • The basis instruments executed during the continuous trading phase are converted by the clearing system during evening processing to the referenced index futures, whereby a reversed transaction is made to the basis trade and new trade is created for the index future.
    • Basis trading is supported for the first two expiration months on the OMXS30, OMXESG, OMXO20, OMXC25, OMXH25 and OMXSML (Sweden Small Cap).
