CME to Reopen Futures, Options Trading After Halt Caused by Data-Center Issue
CME Group said it would reopen futures and options trading after an hourslong glitch at a data center prompted it to halt exchanges across asset classes.
The exchange operator said Friday that its CME Globex Futures & Options markets would open as of 0830 ET. The move follows earlier restorations of fixed-income and foreign-exchange platforms.
CME, one of the world’s largest derivatives marketplaces, blamed a cooling problem at a data center operated by CyrusOne for the trading halt and said it was working to resolve the problem. CyrusOne said its teams were working to restore normal operations as quickly as possible.
