On Wednesday, December 11, 2002, the Board of Directors approved a change in the January 2003 CME Brazilian real futures and options termination of trading day from Tuesday, December 31, 2002 to Monday, December 30, 2002.

The Exchange changed the January 2003 CME Brazilian real contracts termination date to enable the futures last trading date to coincide with the date of determination of the spot market rate used for final settlement.  CME has taken this same action for the last two years regarding the termination of trading for the January 2002 and January 2001 CME Brazilian real futures and options contracts.  There is no open interest in the January 2003 Brazilian real futures and options contracts to date.
