(CME)’s Globex platform. CME Group, the world’s largest futures market, suspended the start of trading on all of its Globex electronic-trading markets except for Malaysian equity-index derivatives, according to its website. Trading will open at 9 p.m. Chicago time, the bourse said in a later update. Dozens of commodities from corn to West Texas Intermediate crude change hands on the all-electronic Globex platform that begins on Sunday nights in the U.S., as well as contracts on interest rates and stock indexes. “The biggest problem you might have is with some of the agricultural products because people rely on it quite heavily,” Jonathan Barratt, the chief investment officer at Ayers Alliance Securities in Sydney, said by phone today. “You’re taking away a risk transfer mechanism that people rely on.” Asset classes where there is also a spot market, such as precious metals, are less affected, Barratt said. Investors can trade spot gold, silver, platinum and palladium in London while those in China, the world’s largest consumer and producer, can trade bullion on both the Shanghai Gold Exchange and Shanghai Futures Exchange. The CME has mostly avoided the larger market structure breakdowns that plagued U.S. equity venues over the last five years, though a futures contract traded on its platform was identified by regulators as helping precipitate the flash crash in May 2010. In the stock market, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Jo White has demanded infrastructure and procedural improvements as a way to restore investor confidence. Open Interest “Updates will be provided as they become available,” Laurie Bischel, a Chicago-based spokeswoman at CME, said in an e-mailed response to a request for more information about the current outage. U.S. futures trading in everything from stocks to bonds, energy and agricultural products is dominated by the CME and InterContinental Exchange Inc., which last year bought the New York Stock Exchange. CME Group said in a press release earlier this month that open interest across asset classes reached a record 103.4 million positions on Aug. 7. Average volume for August was 14 million contracts at that date, up 33 percent from the year-earlier period. Traders use futures to speculate on price direction in underlying assets and carry out hedging strategies. For instance, an investor who holds individual stocks or exchange-traded funds might sell a Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX) contract to protect against losses from broad market moves. WTI Contracts The CME is the place where investors trade the most WTI crude and Henry Hub natural gas contracts, the U.S. benchmarks. About 500,000 crude contracts and 300,000 gas futures are traded on average through the bourse every day. Brent, the grade for more than half of the world’s oil, is largely traded on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. For stock investors, the CME’s electronic venue enables the trading of futures on the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq 100 Index, as well as contracts on Japan’s Nikkei 225 Stock Average and India’s CNX Nifty index. Among the most popular equity contracts is the so-called e-mini future on the S&P 500, which has seen about 1.5 million change hands daily on average in August. Treasury Futures Ali Jalai, a bond trader in Singapore at Scotiabank, said today’s outage on Treasury-futures trading hasn’t been a problem because trading on the underlying securities is thin. The lack of activity is being compounded because of a holiday today in the U.K., he said. “The cash market is open, but nobody’s trading,” he said. “That shows you how little interest there is.” The CME halted trading for some futures contracts for more than 90 minutes on April 8 due to “technical issues.” The error prevented futures and options transactions in products including corn, wheat, cattle and hogs. The Chicago-based company’s largest revenue-producing contracts, such as interest-rate and stock-index futures, weren’t affected.
