      UpdateUpdate - Price Precision Extension - 2018

      † Denotes update to the article

      CME Group is implementing end-to-end technology changes to support increased price granularity. Currently, CME Group systems support a maximum of 7 decimals. With this initiative, products with up to 9 decimals may be listed and traded. On Sunday, January 13 (trade date Monday, January 14), pending regulatory approval, the 2-Year Treasury Note futures, all 2-Year Treasury Future Spreads (including Calendar Spreads, Tail Spreads and Inter-Commodity Spreads with a 2-Year Treasury Future) along with the futures portion of covered options UDS, will move from 7 decimals to 8 to support trading at 1/8 of 1/32.

      Customers are encouraged to move to support 9 decimals now; but there are no plans to list a product that uses the 9th decimal at this time.

      Starting Sunday, August 12, the price precision extension rollout will begin with MDP 3.0. With this release, customer certification will be required for MDP 3.0 and Streamlined SBE.

      On Sunday, November 4, a production test instrument for the 2-Year Treasury Note futures will be launched on CME Globex. This new test instrument will give customers the ability to confirm system readiness for the introduction of 8-digit decimal price precision. Upon the launch of this test instrument, clients whose systems are not yet prepared to handle 8 decimal precision must ensure their systems have the ability to ignore market data and iLink/Drop Copy execution reports on this new instrument.

      Price Precision Timeline:

       

       

      Customer Mock Trading Sessions:

      To ensure customers can process the market data, CME Group will offer three customer mock trading sessions prior to each schema rollout group and Globex test instrument launch:

      • Saturday, July 28
      • Saturday, August 25
      • Saturday, October 20

      Customers are required to register and join the conference bridge line to participate in the mock trading sessions.
