December S&P 500 E-Mini futures (ESZ25) were indicated up +0.10% before a technical outage at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange disrupted trading.
Trading of futures and options on the CME was halted for hours on Friday, disrupting some of the world’s most liquid futures markets. The halt hit U.S. Treasuries and equity futures, along with commodities and other asset classes. “Due to a cooling issue at CyrusOne data centers, our markets are currently halted,” according to CME Group’s website. “Support is working to resolve the issue in the near term and will advise clients of pre-open details as soon as they are available,” it said.
