BGC Group, in cooperation with ten investment banks and market-making firms, have launched FMX Futures Exchange.

The exchange is now open for trading SOFT futures and will add US treasury futures in the first quarter of 2025.

Howard W. Lutnick, chairman and CEO of BGC Group and chairman of FMX Holdings, says: This is the first US interest rate futures exchange to launch with a fully operational, globally connected, state-of-the-art trading system, along with enormous capital savings driven by the LCHs cross-margin capabilities.

Together with our strategic partners, FMX is well-positioned to capitalise on this tremendous opportunity.

Through its clearing partnership with LCH, BGC expects the new exchange to provide clients with significant capital savings.

LCH members expect to cross-margin eligible US interest rate futures traded on the exchange against LCHs US$225 billion of interest rate swap collateral securing its interest rate swaps.

Daniel Maguire, group head of LSEG Markets and CEO of LCH Group, says: Our partnership highlights LCHs commitment to delivering choice to market participants. It will enable members and clients to benefit from our extended clearing capabilities and bring increased resiliency, margin efficiencies, and liquidity to the US dollar rates derivatives market.
