CME Plans to Convert Eris Libor to SOFR

  • The proposal calls for CME to convert remaining Eris Libor positions to Eris SOFR contracts in June 2023

  • As Eris SOFR Swap Futures are indexed to the benchmark Secured Overnight Financing Rate and will be backed by CME Portfolio Margining, the plan provides Eris Libor position holders increased assurance of a smooth transition during the upcoming Libor cessation

  • Eris SOFR block trades are permitted for trades of at least 100 contracts ($10 mm notional), in accordance with CBOT exchange rules

  • Feedback from customers and brokers suggests a substantial portion of the Q1 migration from Eris Libor to Eris SOFR will occur using block trades
