Other Items

As previously disclosed, during the current quarter, we recognized a loss of approximately $48 million on positions taken over as customer accommodation due to a technical issue at the New York Stock Exchange that occurred on the morning of June 3, 2024.

In connection with our currency diversification strategy, we base our net worth in GLOBALs, a basket of 10 major currencies in which we hold our equity.

the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition. Income derived from program deposits is reported in other net interest income in the table above.

  2. Includes income from financial instruments that has the same characteristics as interest, but is reported in other fees and services and other income in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, $7 million, $13 million, $5 million, and $8 million were reported in other fees and services, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, $6 million, $15 million, -$2 million, and -$2 million were reported in other income, respectively.
