Eurex, one of the world’s biggest derivatives exchanges, is making it easier for banks and hedge funds to relocate traders at short notice in light of quarantine measures that might be needed as the coronavirus sweeps Europe.

Any Eurex participant must give the exchange 14 days notice of any change in the location from where it trades, according to its rules as of November 2019.
