Date 20/09/1999
The London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange (LIFFE) today lists its euro-denominated Short Term Interest Rate (STIR) futures contracts (the Three Month Euribor and Three Month EuroLibor futures contracts) on LIFFE CONNECT™; the last of the complement of STIR futures contracts to be listed on the electronic trading system.
LIFFE's Chief Executive, Hugh Freedberg, said "The intra-day listing of these contracts on LIFFE CONNECT™ today completes, on schedule, the roll-out programme of LIFFE CONNECT™ for financial futures.
"As with the Three Month Euroswiss futures contract and the Three Month Short Sterling futures contract, the two euro contracts listed today will trade in parallel with open outcry trading, thereby giving customers a choice of trading platform. This reinforces LIFFE's determination to provide the market with choice and flexibility."
