Nasdaq Derivatives Markets (Nasdaq Stockholm AB and Nasdaq Clearing AB) communicated in market notices in April 2024 the plan to introduce U.S. stocks to the Custom Basket Forwards (CBF) scope of stocks. As of today, August 27, 2024, the service is now available in production. Production access to CBFs on baskets with U.S. stocks will in accordance with the Exchange Rules and Clearing Rules of Nasdaq Derivatives Markets be restricted only to derivatives members that can demonstrate the correct U.S. tax status. Production access can be requested via Nasdaq's Member Portal. Market participants are reminded that currently the Custom Basket Forwards markets are in a Soft Launch phase, where the following applies: -- The member must only trade and clear CBFs with the member's own clients (i.e., any CBF recorded on the member's house account must always be met by an equal and opposite contract recorded on a client account of the member). -- Registration of transactions is allowed only via Nasdaq Trading Operations. -- Give ups are not allowed.
