Market performance and activities
developed in 2003
Introduction
The year 2003 was characterized by the markets’ recovery from the
uncertainty and pessimism that enveloped Brazil at the end of
2002. The evolution observed throughout last year, particularly
noticeable in the first quarter, shows the relief experienced by
Brazilian and foreign investors as to the reversal of negative trends
previously anticipated for Brazil.

significativamente de perspectiva e assumiu a posição de
importante alternativa de investimento dentre os países
emergentes. A análise dessa nova postura dos investidores
internacionais perante o Brasil está no grau de risco medido pelo
indicador EMBI, que atingira 2.300 pontos-base (23%) sobre o
título do Tesouro norte-americano em 2002, para cair
acentuadamente para 480 pontos (4,8%).

The number of BM&F traded contracts also grew in 2003 and saw
a 17.1% increase in relation to 2002 totaling 117.9 million, not
counting the trading volume in mini contracts of 2.8 million. This,
however, showed a 44% reduction when compared to 2002 due to
an interruption in mini ID x U.S. Dollar swap transactions during the
year.
Interest rates

The complex of contracts based on interest rate, which includes the
Interbank Deposit (ID) and the local U.S. Dollar interest rate market,
continues to be BM&F’s main segment and accounted on average
for 69.2% of the trading volume during 2003.
The ID futures market, which trades the local currency interest rate,
had an average 47.7% share of the total trading volume, which
represents an 18.7% increase over 2002 totaling 57.6 million
contracts. There was also a record registered in the ID futures
market, when 640,495 contracts were traded in one day.
As estatísticas para o volume financeiro em dólares do mercado
futuro de DI igualmente revelam expansão comparativamente a
2002, embora apenas 7,6% maiores que as observadas no ano
anterior. Esse crescimento foi favorecido pelo maior número de
contratos negociados e pelo declínio da taxa de câmbio utilizada
para colocar tal volume em moeda constante, mas não foi
expressivo. Poder-se-ia apontar como fator preponderante para o
recuo no volume financeiro referencial o alongamento dos prazos.

Swaps
Os swaps tiveram 34,5% de expansão de volume financeiro com
relação ao de 2002, somando US$80,8 bilhões. Esse resultado
rompeu a seqüência de reduções ocorridas nos últimos anos.
Porém, o volume de posições em aberto recuou, o que significa que
parte desse volume de negócios pode ser atribuída ao
encerramento de posições.
Opções flexíveis
O volume financeiro negociado em opções flexíveis subiu apenas
7,1%; em número de contratos, o aumento foi de 29,1%.
The BM&F OTC market, including swaps and flexible Ibovespa index
and U.S. Dollar options showed a 20.7% increase in financial
volume over 2002 involving US$145.8 billion.
Swaps
The BM&F swap market achieved a 34.5% growth in financial
volume in relation to 2002 totaling US$80.8 billion. This result
interrupted the succession of reductions which took place during
the last few years. However, open interest fell substantially and part
of this can be attributed to the offsetting of positions.
The drop shown in the rollover of foreign exchange debt did not
suffice to bring down the trading volume, and with the redemption
of swapped bonds, positions were closed out. Another important
26 27
point to consider was the continuous presence of institutional
investors, since the principal aspect of the financial volume
variations was in the combination of variables that include inflation
instruments.
Flexible options
The financial volume of flexible options rose only 7.1%, while the
number of traded contracts saw a 29.1% rise.
