Market Impact: Low - No impact on live trading as this is a mock session conducted on a non-trading day.

Technical Impact: Medium - Requires technical teams to modify connection parameters and verify DR connectivity across multiple systems including trading platforms and back-office applications.

Business Continuity: High importance for preparedness - Regular DR testing is critical for ensuring seamless failover capability in case of actual disasters or primary site failures. This exercise validates that trading members can successfully connect and operate from the DR infrastructure.

Impact Justification

Operational circular for DR testing affecting trading members in Currency Derivatives segment. Requires technical configuration changes but is a routine mock session with no live trading impact.
