MF Global Statement Regarding Fiscal Year 2009

NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
In view of the market reaction to our first fiscal quarter 2009
update, the company would like to advise the market that our volumes
and associated transactional business continue to fare very well as we
continue to benefit from the exceptional volatility in the markets in
which we operate.

The company regards the decline in our interest income in May to
be short term in nature and the result of the current positioning of
client assets which are largely in overnight government and agency
securities. The company would expect interest income to return to more
normal levels as we take advantage of the already higher rates.
