"Markets from bonds and commodities to equities and foreign exchange are paused on the Chicago Mercentile Exchange (CME), after a problem with one of the platform's data centers. Every day, millions of exchanges are made on CME, not only allowing investors access to 24-hour trades in some markets but also providing analysts and the media with real-time updates on market sentiment."
""Whilst our 2026 outlook might be called 'Anything but dull', the last 24 hours have been 'everything dull' with the U.S. out for Thanksgiving, and few headlines elsewhere," wrote Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid to clients this morning "Even an overnight outage at the CME, which means many futures contracts (including U.S. equity futures) haven't traded since around 2.45am London time, hasn't really been notic"
Markets across bonds, commodities, equities and foreign exchange were halted on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange following a cooling issue at a CyrusOne data center. The pause interrupted millions of daily exchanges, 24-hour trading windows and real-time market updates that feed analysts and media. The CME FedWatch barometer, used to gauge rate-cut expectations and potential volatility, was affected by the outage. A homepage notice and a CME statement confirmed the halt and said support was addressing the problem while BrokerTec EU markets remained open. The timing of a full service restoration is unknown and impact was muted by the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday.
