Euronext 26-01-2004
London, 26 January, 2004 -- The London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange (LIFFE), wholly owned by Euronext N.V, today announced it will offer three-month Eurodollar futures and options contracts beginning 18 March, 2004. This is a natural extension of LIFFE's short-term interest (STIR) contract franchise which already comprises LIFFE's successful eurodenominated short-term interest rate contract, EURIBOR and its Sterling, Swiss Franc and Yen STIRS, which trade over a million contracts a day. LIFFE CONNECT®, the most advanced and widely distributed electronic derivatives trading system in the world, will be the electronic platform for trading the Eurodollar futures and options.
