With regards to the dissemination trouble yesterday for Gold Feb09 contract, we would like to once again offer our deepest apologies.
Market data dissemination for this particular contract month was suspended because the amount of market data exceeded the maximum daily limit per series.
Since we have concluded that this will not affect the opening of the market, we started today's trading according to the normal schedule.
We are now carefully monitoring the amount of market data disseminated.
We will address this issue, from a technical point of view, on April 5th and 6th.
In the meantime, if the Exchange deems that there is a possibility that the same trouble might occur or if such trouble actually occured today, we will promptly inform all parties involved and continue the trading.
We will report later the results of our actions taken on the 5th and the 6th.
