  • Designated Market Maker (DMM) participation in January 2009 was 8.4%, the highest level of participation since February 2006, and up from 7% in December 2008. The increased level of participation was driven in part by the introduction of the NYSE’s new market model in October 2008.

  • European cash trading activity qualifying for Pack Epsilon pricing represented 35% of total transactions executed.

Derivatives Trading

European derivatives products ADV was 3.8 million futures and options contracts, a decrease of 18.4% from January 2008, primarily driven by a decline in interest rate trading volume.

  • Total equity products (including Bclear) ADV increased 5.6% to 1.8 million contracts. Bclear, NYSE Liffe's trade administration and clearing service, processed 779 thousand contracts per day, an increase of 98.2%.
