CME Group Extends Global Trading Hours for Electronic Mini Grains
CME Group, the world's largest and most diverse exchange, announced the extension of its electronic trading hours for mini-sized corn, soybean and wheat futures contracts beginning November 9. The mini agricultural contracts will trade electronically side-by-side with the grains and oilseed products already available in open outcry, which is expected to maximize access for global customers and increase opportunities for both electronic and floor trading.
