Short-term Treasury securities rallied in futures and cash markets today in the first full day of Treasury market action since Tuesday?s terrorist attacks.

Meanwhile, officials and regulators of U.S. stocks exchanges said trading will resume Monday.

Traders said the Treasury market was orderly. The cash market, which functions somewhat like the Nasdaq stock market, was thin. Several major brokers in that market lost personnel and facilities when the World Trade Center in New York?s financial district was destroyed.

Interest-rate futures and related options trading was active at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade.

The dollar was little changed in foreign exchange trading. Central banks throughout the world have signaled traders that any run on the dollar could be met with intervention by central banks to support the greenback.
