OCC has since secured commitments from multiple pension funds in an aggregate amount of $1 billion. Since setting and securing commitments up to that aggregate commitment limit, OCC has experienced an increase in its stressed liquidity demands. Under OCC's Liquidity Risk Management Framework (“LRMF”), OCC performs daily liquidity stress testing to assess its Base Liquidity Resources and Available Liquidity Resources against OCC's liquidity risk tolerance clearing company (“Adequacy Scenarios”). Based in part on the results of this stress testing, OCC has periodically adjusted Clearing Member's Clearing Fund Cash Requirement to ensure that OCC maintains sufficient liquidity resources to cover its liquidity risk exposures at all times. Through this Advance Notice OCC proposes a change to its Non-Bank Liquidity Facility program to give OCC greater capacity to source liquidity from its non-bank liquidity providers as needed.

HKEX has applied the principles of the Corporate Governance Code to its corporate governance structure and practices. We collaborate with a multitude of sectors and stakeholders to enhance the financial ecosystem and facilitate the financial journey of clients of all financial institutions and services. The LRMF defines “Available Liquidity Resources” to include Base Liquidity Resources plus allowable Clearing Fund cash deposited in excess of the Clearing Fund Cash Requirement. Government securities for cash deposits in excess of such Clearing Member's proportionate share of the Clearing Fund Cash Requirement is subject to a two-day notice period. OCC's Board has authorized OCC to seek up to an additional $2.5 billion in external liquidity.

Analysts expect the government will continue to increase its stake, as HKEX is being prepared "for future integration and alliance with mainland exchanges". Another analyst was concerned about the independence of "independent chairman" Ronald Arculli, who also sits on the Executive Council.

Subsequently, HKEX, under the founding member programme, invited 12 financial institutions as founding members of OTC Clear, who in total hold 25 per cent of issued share capital in OTC Clear (in the form of non-voting ordinary shares) whilst HKEX holds the remaining 75 per cent.

Investopedia does not include all offers available in the marketplace. For example, let’s assume that in October the current price for wheat is $4.00 per bushel and the futures price is $4.25. A wheat farmer is trying to secure a selling price for their next crop, while Domino's Pizza is trying to secure a buying price in order to determine how much to charge for a large pizza next year. The farmer and the corporation can enter into a futures contract requiring the delivery of five million bushels of wheat to Domino's in December at a price of $4.25 per bushel.
