The Chicago Mercantile Exchange restored trading operations in time to wrap up a holiday-shortened week in the US, recovering from an hours-long technical outage that had disrupted multiple financial markets across Asia and Europe.
The exchange’s Globex Futures & Options markets, which handles futures, options, and commodities trading and accounts for 90% of CME Group’s volume, opened at 8:30 a.m. New York time. Volume remained light across many markets, with at least four traders noting delays in trading for Treasury futures and options tied to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.
