The American Stock Exchange's equity options program will also start trading Monday at the same time on the PHLX's options trading floor. The PHLX has offered its trading systems and technological infrastructure to the AMEX. The AMEX is unable to resume trading at its own facility due to the bombing of the World Trade Centers.
The Philadelphia Stock Exchange was founded in 1790. It trades more than 2,200 stocks, 1,041 listed equity options, 11 sectors index options and currency pairs. For more information about the PHLX and its products, visit www.phlx.com.
