Date 13/07/2004

Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Berhad encountered technical difficulties in its system yesterday morning causing opening in the derivatives market to be delayed to 9.30am, instead of the normal opening for trading at 8.45am.

Bursa Derivatives took immediate measures to rectify the problem. The system and services were restored at 9.30am.

The delay in opening did not cause any disruption to the derivatives market. Bursa Malaysia Derivatives will continue to monitor the situation to ensure its system and all trading, clearing and settlement operations are functioning at optimal capacity.
