Deutsche Borse And Eurex Offer Expanded Derivatives Information


                     Frankfurt, 24 Jan 2000 

                     The Information Products Division of Deutschen Börse has been disseminating additional information on trading in
                     derivatives products at Eurex, the European derivatives exchange, since January 17: The so-called Eurex Market
                     Depth shows the five best bid and ask prices in the Eurex order book for selected products like futures on the DAX,
                     SMI, Dow Jones Euro STOXX, Bund, Bobl and Schatz as well as the prices and volumes of these orders. These
                     data, which were previously only available to Eurex market participants via their trading screens, are now also being
                     distributed to data vendors. The market depth is the basis for assessing the market dynamics and liquidity of
                     individual securities. Deutsche Börse is thus enhancing market transparency in the derivatives market, Eurex. This
                     will especially be to the benefit of institutional investors and private investors. Deutsche Börse has offered a
                     comparable product, Xetra Market Depth, since March of last year. 

                     The data for the new product, Eurex Market Depth, are transmitted via the real-time price interface of Deutsche
                     Börse Ticker Plant Frankfurt (TPF) to data vendors who in turn pass on the market data via information terminals.
                     As of mid-2000, all market data will be offered as an integrated data stream via the new Consolidated Exchange
                     Feed (CEF) system. The main advantage of CEF is that it bundles several data streams and gives data vendors
                     and financial institutions integrated access to information from the cash and derivatives market.
