Tokyo Commodity Exchange: Exchange Response To Market Data Trouble For Gold Contract

Date 07/04/2008

With regards to the dissemination trouble for Gold Feb09 contract on Thursday, April 3rd, the Exchange wishes to once again apologize to all parties affected, including members and customers.

As previously announced, the market data dissemination for this particular contract month was suspended because the amount of market data exceeded the maximum daily limit per series. In order to solve the trouble, we decided to largely increase said limit and modified the computer program accordingly. We have conducted a verification test on April 5th, and confirmed that the same kind of trouble will not happen again.

The TOCOM gold futures market will open according to the normal schedule today (April 7th).
