| ETFs Added to our Family of IB Market Briefs We are pleased to add the Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) brief to our family of daily market briefs including the Options brief, the FX brief and the Interest Rates brief. The ETFs table summarizes options activity on 11 major industries using the popular underlying SPDR Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). The data table shows the price and daily change in price as well as a reading of options implied volatility used to measure the potential price movement in the underlying symbol. The table also provides overall options open interest in each fund and breaks it conveniently into call/put and put/call ratios to help gauge investors' bias via the options market. Investors can monitor activity in today's trading by referring to the current options volume broken out by ticker. |

| IB's Daily Interest Rate Brief Adds Real-time Bond Data Tables The Daily Interest Rate Brief, which covers the global interest rate futures markets for government bonds and short-dated futures contracts, now includes real-time bond data tables to show the top 20 highest-yielding investment and non-investment grade corporate bonds. The table is divided into four components determined by two factors. Bonds are grouped by a maturity horizon of less than and more than a three-year time. The high-to-low ranking system is determined by the rating assigned to company issued debt by Moodys Investor Service. Bonds are listed from highest to lowest yield. Beneath the data table is a users guide to help understand the Moodys ranking methodology. Investors can use the table to determine potential investments to suit their time horizon according to their risk tolerance. Each bond is identified by a hyperlink to the underlying equity security and displays the coupon rate and a precise maturity date. For example, the ticker BAC 8 1/4, 04/15/27 would display data for Bank of America corporate bonds maturing April 15, 2027. The market price and yield are displayed in the table along with the current Moodys rating. |
