FMX Matching Engine

The matching engine for UST futures will be located at NY4, alongside the matching engine for Fenics UST (FUST) cash treasuries. This co-location will result in ultra-low latency when trading futures vs cash basis, and a significant reduction in the costs associated with legging risk. The matching engine for the SOFR futures will be located in Chicago.
