Foreign Exchange dispute threatens exchanges

Article Abstract:

Russia's financial troubles may threaten hedging and derivative exchanges in other countries, but there is speculation that some may benefit from the Micex-Credit Suisse First Boston dispute. Micex and Credit Suisse First Boston reportedly have met to discuss bond defaults in Russia which Micex declared as null and void. Still, some analysts are hopeful that other exchanges stand to benefit because no Russian contracts have been terminated so far.
