The limits have been established under the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulations 2017 (MIFI Regs).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The limits are being revised in accordance with RTS 21, which states that position limits should be reviewed when there is a significant change in Open Interest, deliverable supply, or any other significant change in the market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The changes reflect changing market conditions. In these cases, the continued use of a 2,500 lot limit could impair market functioning or growth in ways which MiFID II seeks to avoid, and a limit will be announced in due course when market changes have stabilised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where limits are To Be Announced \u201cTBA\u201d, we will give two months\u2019 notice before any revised limits come into force to enable market participants to adjust their trading strategies in a responsible way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The temporary suspension of limits (TFU and UKD) will apply immediately. WIM is a new contract being launched on 7 December, so there is no previous limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These limits may change in the event that we decide it is necessary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following table sets out the affected contracts and the revised limits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">Contract<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Venue Market
