    • New CME Reference Data API Enhancements - Event-Based Contracts

      At a launch date to be announced, CME Reference Data API will be enhanced to support Event-Based Contracts.  Event contracts are daily-expiring options on a non-tradeable (synthetic) monthly underlying future.  Event contracts cash-settle to a fixed value if in-the-money by any amount.  Additional details and product availability can be found in the Event-Based Contracts Client Impact Assessment.

      These changes will be available for customer testing in New Release on Monday, April 4.

CME Group is the world’s leading derivatives marketplace. The company is comprised of four Designated Contract Markets (DCMs). 
Further information on each exchange's rules and product listings can be found by clicking on the links to CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX.
