Bolsa de Mercadorias & Futuros
places for regular trades and three decimal places for cross trades and primary contract registration, pursuant

4. Minimum price fluctuation
0.01 of an interest rate point.
5. Maximum daily price fluctuation

The Exchange may alter the price fluctuation limit applicable to any contract month at any time, even during
a trading session, by communicating this to the market with a 30 minute-advance notice.
6. Contract size
US$50,000.00 (fifty thousand U.S. Dollars) of Final Value.
7. Expiration date
As established by BM&F. Each authorized date shall characterize a series. On the expiration date, trades with
the expiring series shall not be allowed.
8. Calculation of the Initial Value of a traded contract
The calculation of the Initial Value for each contract shall be made by the following formula:
⎡
⎤
⎢
⎥
UN
⎥
VI = ⎢
io
⎞
⎢⎛
⎥
×
n
+
1
⎟⎠
⎢⎣ ⎜⎝ 360 × 100
⎥⎦
Where:
VI
= the Initial Value per contract;
UN
= the contract size, pursuant to item 6;
= the ID x U.S. Dollar spread rate traded between the parties, pursuant to item 3;
io
n
= the number of calendar days beginning on the trade date up to and excluding the expiration date.
9. Daily update of a position
Any and all trades (taking into account those performed by the same customer through the same Brokerage
House and under the responsibility of the same Clearing Member; or those performed by the same Local under
the responsibility of the same Clearing Member) executed on the sametrading session for the same series shall
be consolidated, that is, the Final Values of the long contracts shall be offset against the Final Values of the short
contracts. The same shall also occur with the Initial Values, thereby generating the PLD, or the Day’s Net
Position (either long or short) on the respective series.
The Previous Day’s Updated Position (PDAt–1) on the same series shall be updated to the respective date by
indexing the value of the Spread Rate leg by the difference between CETIP’s ID rate, corresponding to the
previous day, and the exchange rate variation of Brazilian Reals per U.S. Dollar, corresponding to the previous
day, and by maintaining the value of the Final Value leg constant. This procedure shall generate the Previous
Day’s Position Updated for the Day (PDAAt), as follows:
⎛
⎞
⎜ FC t ⎟
PDAA t = PDA t −1 × ⎜
⎟
⎜ TC t −1 ⎟
⎝ TC t − 2 ⎠
Where:
FCt
= the indexation factor on day “t,” defined by the following formula:
m
DI t − j ⎞
⎛
FC t = ∏ ⎜ 1 +

j=1 ⎝
TCt–1

Where:
DIt–j = the ID rate, corresponding to the jth business day preceding day “t,” to six decimal places;
m
= the number of reserves between day “t” and the previous day’s trading session;
= the exchange rate of Brazilian Reals per U.S. Dollar, as defined in item 2(b), corresponding to day
“t–1”;
Bolsa de Mercadorias & Futuros
TCt–2
= the exchange rate of Brazilian Reals per U.S. Dollar, as defined in item 2(b), corresponding to day
“t–2.”
The Day’s Net Position and the Previous Day’s Position Updated for the Day (PLD and PDAA) shall be
consolidated by offsetting their respective Final Value and Spread Rate legs. This procedure shall generate the
Day’s Updated Position (either long or short), as defined in item 1, and shall be repeated until the expiration
date of the series.
Should, on a certain day, the CETIP ID rate refer to a period (number of days) different from that to be
considered in the indexation of the Spread Rate leg, BM&F, at its own discretion, may arbitrate a rate for that
specific day.
10. Daily reset
The positions of each customer (the Day’s Updated Position) shall be reset daily based upon the BM&F
reference rate for ID x U.S. Dollar spread trades (specially created for the daily reset) adjusted to the time to
maturity of the series. The corresponding values shall be cash settled on the following business day and
calculated by the following formula:
⎡
⎤
⎢
⎥
VF
⎞
⎛ i
⎥ × TC t −1 × ⎜ a + 1⎟

⎛

⎢

⎜⎝
⎢⎣
⎥⎦
⎠
360 × 100
Where:
APt
= the reset value of the position corresponding to day “t”;
CCt
= the value of the Spread Rate leg relating to the Day’s Updated Position (the Day’s Net Position
consolidated with the Previous Day’s Position Updated for the Day) corresponding to the respective
series;
VF
= the value of the Final Value leg;
= the BM&F reference rate for ID x U.S. Dollar spread trades, specially created for the daily reset,
is
expressed as a linear percentage rate per annum based on a 360-day year and corresponding to the
reset date for the time to maturity of the position;
n
= the time to maturity of the position in calendar days counted from the reset date up to and excluding
the expiration date;
TCt–1 = as defined in item 9;
= the CETIP ID rate corresponding to the reset date.

Should the reset value be positive, it shall be credited to the buyer, that is, to the holder of the long position,
and debited to the seller, that is, to the holder of the short position. Should the opposite occur, the reset value
shall be credited to the seller and debited to the buyer.
After the reset is calculated, the value of the Spread Rate leg for the position shall become the value of the Final
Value leg, discounted by the following formula:
CCa =
VF
is
⎛

× n⎟ + 1
⎜⎝
⎠
360 × 100
Where:
CCa
= the value of the Spread Rate leg after the reset calculation;
VF, is and n = as defined above.
After the reset is calculated, should the values of the Spread Rate leg and Final Value leg become equal to zero,
the position shall be automatically closed out, what shall be evidenced in a document to be issued by BM&F.
11. Settlement conditions
On the expiration date and after their last update, positions shall be cash settled at BM&F by the customer
(through the Brokerage House and the Clearing Member) or by the Local (through the Clearing Member). The
settlement value of the position shall be the difference between the value of the Spread Rate leg and the value
of the Final Value leg times the exchange rate defined in item 2(b) and corresponding to the previous day.
Should the value of the Spread Rate leg be larger than the value of the Final Value leg, the settlement value
shall be credited to the buyer, that is, to the holder of the long position, and debited to the seller, that is, to the
holder of the short position. Should the opposite occur, the settlement value shall be credited to the seller and
debited to the buyer.

IShould for any reason BACEN and/or the CETIP delay or not publish the exchange rate and/or the ID rate
for one or more days, BM&F may at its own discretion:
(a) Postpone the contract settlement up until an official disclosure by BACEN and/or the CETIP; or

expiration date to the effective cash settlement date.
Furthermore, should the CETIP and/or the Central Bank change the criteria for the calculation and/or
publication of the rates underlying this contract, BM&F may at its own discretion:
(a) Alter the formula for the calculation of the settlement value, so as to attain the same results as before;
or
(b) Cash settle the contract by an arbitrated price.
Regardless of the situations described above, BM&F may, at its own discretion, arbitrate a value to settle the
contract at any time, should it not consider the rates used in the calculation of the settlement value to be
representative for this purpose.
