EUREX positions are not obligated to be closed due to an early market halt on the US session.

EUREX trading results will be cleared and counted as the regular trading day on the day when the US session market is early halt.

The US session trading results (US trading products result) will be combined for the day when the market halt and for the next trading session and will be counted as one trading day.

EUREX trading results on the next trading session after the US session market halt will be combined with the US trading results before the market halt and the next trading session's results.
