Eliminate Options Position Limits
Cboe filed on March 14, 2025 a proposal to remove position and exercise limits for options that overlie the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index (both the full-value series and the one‑tenth value series) and the S&P 500 ESG Index (which the Exchange proposes to rename the S&P 500 Scored & Screened Index). The proposal was published in the Federal Register on March 31, 2025 and is now under SEC review.
