CBOT steps up defence against Eurex US launch

The Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) is to launch German fixed income futures and options contracts replicating those listed on the Swiss-German exchange Eurex.

Pending regulatory approval the CBOT is to launch three, five and 10-year German government bond contracts which will compete directly with Eurex's successful Bund, Bobl and Schatz contracts.
