The xRolling® FX contracts are "perpetual" Futures on 17 currency pairs, with extended market hours (from 00:00 to 23:00). They can be contracted from Monday to Friday and are distributed by the MEFF members and settled and compensated in BME Clearing, the BME Central Counterparty Entity.

Unlike Futures with standard maturities, the xRolling® FX product is a "perpetual" Future with daily roll-over of positions at closing, which facilitates that the closing price of the xRolling® FX is the same as that of the Spot. The underlying will not be delivered but all the settlements will be made in euros. In this way, MEFF provides its Members and Customers with a very versatile product so they can operate according to their needs.

BME wants to offer investors, both retailers * and institutional investors, the possibility of trading in currencies through an instrument quoted in MEFF with the security and transparency of operating in a regulated market, and the BME Clearing guarantee as a counterpart.

* This contract is subject to Decision (EU) 2019/679 of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) of April 17, 2019, which establishes measures that affect its marketing, distribution or sale to retail customers.
