02 br 00 There is no rule at play here-- either preposition could have been used in either position. However, the writer should have been consistent. Although in general English, 01 b 01 i 00 at 02 i 02 b 00 is unacceptable before mention of a day or date, it enjoys this specialized use in the world of finance.
