CME Group will launch an upgrade to the CME Globex® electronic trading platform that will significantly reduce message response time, already among the fastest in the industry. During testing, under a replay of peak market conditions the upgraded CME Globex platform demonstrated over a 50 percent reduction in response time, from an average of 31 milliseconds down to approximately 16.5 milliseconds. In 2007 an average 8.5 million contracts a day traded electronically at CME Group. The exchange continues to move ahead with the migration of CBOT products to the CME Globex platform. On Sunday, January 13, for a trade date of January 14, all e-cbot listed commodity and equity index products will begin trading electronically on CME Globex. CBOT interest rate products will then migrate from e-cbot to CME Globex on Sunday, January 27, for a trade date of January 28.
CME Group intends to implement a number of enhancements in its interest rate products designed to deliver significant value to its customers. Beginning March 3, CME Group plans to reduce the minimum tick size for three of its most actively traded interest rate contracts, the 30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond futures contract and both the 5-Year U.S. Treasury Note futures and options on futures. Pending CFTC approval, CME will implement the following modification to the minimum tick size:
-- 30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond futures from 1/32nd to 1/2 of 1/32nd (from
$31.25 to $15.625)
-- 5-Year U.S. Treasury Note futures from 1/2 of 1/32nd to 1/4 of 1/32nd
