CLEARING CONFIRM MQ CONNECTION MIGRATION

Please be advised that CME Clearing is migrating MQ infrastructure to cloud-based technology. This change allows for greater resilience, streamlined enhancements, and the ability to support any upcoming supplemental trading hours.

This change will require ALL Firms to migrate their Network connections to point to the new infrastructure. We plan to start with Firms that are interested in supporting supplemental trading hours. Those Firms should target completing their migration by the end of April 2026. The target for all other Firms to complete this migration is June 2026.
