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).
