Miami, Florida (February 10, 1998)—For the first time ever, emerging market professionals can now carry their trading room environment with them to virtually any place on earth. On Tuesday, February 10, BradyNet Pro (www.bradynet.com/pro), introduces "live" emerging market bond prices, "live" charting services and "live" simultaneous chat for the emerging market community. These new features, accompanied by on-line analytical services, allow market participants to track "real time" prices, spreads and yields on emerging market Brady, global and Eurobonds as well as investment-grade rand-denominated bonds, from almost anywhere in the world.

By combining live prices and technicals with a simultaneous chat room, viewers can now discuss price movements on-line in real time. The live prices pages link to asset-specific discussion forums where fellow bondholders, issuers and underwriters around the world can exchange opinions and ideas directly with each other. Viewers can also obtain bond descriptions, historical charts and data downloads.

"The availability of these products signals a new era in the distribution of price information of emerging markets fixed income assets. Market participants can now follow price changes while being away from the trading floor. As an example, with BradyNet Pro, a viewer can check a bond quote from an airport terminal before boarding a flight In London while chatting with traders in New York or Buenos Aires about the latest movements," said Roberto Krell, BradyNet’s President.
