Abstract

The German futures market “Deutsche Terminbörse” started trading in DAX futures contracts on November 23, 1990. The foundation of these futures contracts, the DAX1, is based on the prices of 30 German Blue Chips. The standardised delivery months are March, June, September, December. The German Options and Futures Exchange simultaneously lists three subsequent delivery dates. The final cash settlement takes place on the third Friday of the delivery month.
