Feb 25 (Reuters) – CME Group said on Wednesday that trading in its CME Globex metals and natural gas futures and options markets has been halted due to technical issues.
CME later said its Globex natural gas futures and options markets will pre‑open at 12:45 Central Time and open at 12:50 Central Time.
The exchange operator stated its support team is investigating the matter.
CME said all day orders and good‑till‑date (GTD) orders for Wednesday would be canceled, while good‑till‑canceled (GTC) orders that had already been acknowledged would remain working.
GTD orders stay active only until a specified date, while GTC orders remain in the book until a trader cancels them.
CME, the largest exchange operator by market value, provides a broad range of benchmark products across rates, equities, metals, energy, cryptocurrencies, and agriculture.
Earlier this month, CME Group reported delays in the publication of metals settlement prices.
