    • In preparation for the upcoming launch of CME Event Contracts for trade date Monday September 19, 2022 (and pending all relevant CFTC regulatory review periods), CME Clearing is immediately making available a new, simple Event Contracts Master datafile which will facilitate loading of event contract data by clearing firms and other market participants. In production, the Event Contracts Masterfile will be published within a few minutes of 3:30pm Central time on each business day, and will contain data for the next business day’s event contracts, which contracts will open for trading on CME Globex at 5:00pm. For example, if today were Tuesday, September 20, 2022, the file published at 3:30pm CT would contain event contracts for business day Wednesday September 21, which open for trading at 5:00pm on the Tuesday.
