Yield
i. At 1100 hours on the Final Trading Day, from the quotation contributed by selected institutions on Reuters Ltd, the arithmetic mean of the eligible MGS mid price shall be calculated, after discarding the two highest and the two lowest mid prices. It will be converted to yield in percentage, rounded to the nearest 4 decimal places. The final yield for all the eligible MGS in the basket is derived from the yield for each MGS as per the weightage announced by the Exchange. The final settlement value shall be calculated from the final yield in accordance with the following formula rounded to two (2) decimal places: Price = {(C/Y)[1 - (1 + Y/2) -2N] + (1 + Y/2) -2N} x RM100 Where C = Coupon, Y = Yield.
In the event that the above calculation (i) cannot be made, the final settlement value shall be calculated as published by another financial news vendor approved by the Exchange at 1100 hours (Malaysian time) on the Final Trading Day.
In the event that the above calculation (i) and (ii) cannot be made, the final settlement value shall be calculated as obtained form Bank Negara Malaysia at 1100 hours (Malaysian time) on the Final Trading Day. In the event that none of the above 3 calculations can be made, the final settlement value shall be determined by the Exchange.
