Contract Facilitates Mutual Distribution of Market Data and Offering of NASDAQ OMX Issuer Products and Corporate Services to Brazilian Listed Companies
NASDAQ OMX to Launch Order Routing Service to Connect U.S. and Brazilian Broker/Dealers
December 28, 2009--The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc.
(Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced that it has signed a commercial contract
with BM&FBOVESPA (BM&FBOVESPA:BVMF3) regarding global distribution of
market data and the provisioning of NASDAQ OMX products and corporate
services to public companies in Brazil.
The contract confirms terms
regarding market data and corporate services covered in the previously
announced Memorandum of Understanding entered between the two companies
on Oct. 23rd, 2009.
In addition to the contract regarding market data and corporate services, NASDAQ OMX separately advised BM&FBOVESPA of its intention to develop a communications system to facilitate the routing of orders between participating brokers located in the United States and brokers located in Brazil. This state-of-the-art connectivity service will enable participating North-American broker dealers to send orders for cash equities traded in BM&FBOVESPA through contractual relationship with a Brazilian broker, and participating Brazilian brokers to send orders for cash equities traded in NASDAQ OMX through a contractual relationship with a North-American broker dealer. Launch of a communications system by a technology subsidiary of NASDAQ OMX will be subject to any required regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.
"We believe our agreement with the BM&FBOVESPA is a strong blueprint for how global exchanges can cooperate and leverage their global networks, key assets and the benefits of their geography," said Bob Greifeld, Chief Executive Officer of the NASDAQ OMX Group. "We are very pleased to formalize our relationship with BM&FBOVESPA through a contract that we are confident will open up new revenue streams and opportunities for both companies and investors. Brazil is a dynamic and fast-growing market on a global scale as well as within the Latin American region. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with BM&FBOVESPA, an important global exchange player, to expand our respective businesses. NASDAQ OMX is also pleased to launch a high-speed connectivity service for U.S. and Brazilian brokers."
He added, "With agreements such as this one we will provide benefits to investors by enhancing global market transparency and access to corporate governance services on multiple continents."
The contract entails the following collaboration areas:
* A commercial agreement for NASDAQ OMX to perform non-exclusive, international electronic distribution of market data related to the prices of stocks and financial assets traded on BM&FBOVESPA markets, and for the latter to perform non-exclusive distribution of market data related to the prices of stocks and financial assets traded on NASDAQ OMX markets;
* A commercial agreement for BM&FBOVESPA to offer to Brazilian public companies products and services developed by NASDAQ OMX for support and facilitation of activities performed by these companies, including investor relations activities, structuring and assistance to boards of directors, communications with the market and market analysts.
NASDAQ OMX will continue to collaborate with BM&FBOVESPA on other strategic opportunities such as potential technology cooperation.
Currently, NASDAQ OMX has various commercial partnership agreements via
our market technology relationships with 70 markets around the world.
Recent broader collaborations include the Kuwait Stock Exchange, Osaka
Stock Exchange, as well as the forthcoming launch of N2EX, a new power
market in the UK.

Federal Reserve Board proposes amendments to Regulation D that would enable the establishment of a term deposit facility
December 28, 2009--The Federal Reserve Board on Monday proposed amendments to Regulation D (Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions) that would enable the establishment of a term deposit facility.
Under the proposal, the Federal Reserve Banks would offer interest-bearing term deposits to eligible institutions through an auction mechanism. Term deposits would be one of several tools that the Federal Reserve could employ to drain reserves to support the effective implementation of monetary policy.
This proposal is one component of a process of prudent planning on the part of the Federal Reserve and has no implications for monetary policy decisions in the near term.
Public comments will be accepted on the proposal for 30 days after publication in the Federal Register, which is expected shortly.
The Federal Register notice is attached.

Oil jumps above $79
December 28, 2009--Oil prices jumped above $79 barrel on Monday, rising to the highest level in seven weeks as an extended cold snap in the US triggered an end-of-year rally in energy futures.
Benchmark crude for February delivery added 78 cents to $78.83 a barrel in light, holiday trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices rose as high as $79.12 earlier in the day, the highest since November 5.
Prices for oil, natural gas and heating oil have all grown this month as snow storms blanketed parts of the country and a sharp drop in supplies of crude and other fuels surprised traders. More frigid temperatures are expected, with up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) of snow forecast for New England, and up to 7 inches of snow along the eastern shores of the Lower Great Lakes.
