Reuters – CME Group Inc., the world’s largest futures exchange operator, said it halted trading on its electronic platform for four hours on Monday [Aug. 25] because of a technical issue resulting from planned software reconfigurations.
CME, which owns the Chicago Board of Trade, New York Mercantile Exchange and other markets, made the reconfigurations over the weekend as part of ongoing upgrades to technology, a spokeswoman said in a statement.
