Impact Assessment

This mock trading session is a routine DR readiness exercise with medium operational impact for Currency Derivatives segment participants. Trading members and their technology teams must ensure DR connectivity parameters are correctly configured before the session. No market-wide or regulatory impact is expected. The BOLTPLUS Connectivity Manual (v1.16, dated October 6, 2025) provides detailed guidance on ETI, MDI, and EMDI interface configurations.

Impact Justification

Routine mock trading exercise for Currency Derivatives segment; operationally significant for trading members who need to update DR connection parameters, but no regulatory or market structure changes involved.
