17 September 2001, 16:34 [FWN] Nasdaq's Bailar sees 'normal' trading day
Paris -- Sept. 17 (FWN) - Nasdaq's executive vice president for operations
and technology Gregor Bailar said no opening delays are expected on the
Nasdaq today and that he expects a "normal trading day".
In a conference call, he said none of Nasdaq's systems were damaged in
last week's terrorist attack and that its messaging traffic was tested
over the weekend to almost double the capacity of its peak day this year,
when 3 bln shares changed hands.
He said the index would only close if it becomes clear that a large
portion of the market is unable to gain access.
