NYSE LiquidityQuote<SUP>SM</SUP> Debuts Today Dual Quoting Begins In 28 NYSE-listed Component Stocks Of Dow Jones Industrial Average

The New York Stock Exchange today began publishing NYSE LiquidityQuotes in the 28 NYSE-listed component stocks of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. NYSE LiquidityQuote ("NYLQ") debuted this morning and has been operating smoothly with the dissemination of executable, sizable quotes outside of the inside quote.

NYLQ is a firm, two-sided, real-time quote that reflects trading interest in size greater than that typically available at the best bid or offer.

NYLQ was developed to allow investors and market professionals to find the market size and depth that has become more critical since the introduction of decimal increments and penny spreads.

NYLQ is disseminated in addition to the currently available best bid and offer through all major market-data vendors. NYLQ can be accessed electronically or through a broker at the point of sale and is Institutional Xpress^SM eligible.

The NYSE will evaluate the results of the initial rollout over the next several weeks to determine the time and scope of its expansion into other stocks.
