The Sydney Futures Exchange (SFE) has made 4th October 1999 as the date to
go fully electronic. Although I really doubt it. Alot of the SFE members
(including myself) have doubts that they will close the floor 3 months
before Y2K. The speculation is that they will probably delay the floor
closure until Jan/Feb 2000.

The most liquid products on the SFE are:

* Australian 90 day Bank bills ("bank bills" are the 90 day debt securities
issued by Aussie banks)

* Commonwealth 3 yr bond (the Fed Govt 3 yr bond future, it's the most
liquid futures on the SFE)

* Commonwealth 10 yr bond

* Share Price Index or SPI (the stock index future to the Aussie All ords
index)
