Reminder: Cabinet Pricing Change for CME
FX and Commodity Options
Effective
Sunday, February 4, 2007, at customers' requests, CME will provide actual Cabinet
prices for CME FX and Commodity outright options in all CME iLink order entry and RLC market data
messages. With this change, orders submitted with a price below the Low Limit price, including a 0
(zero) price, will be rejected. Currently, in these products, outright option orders at a 0 price
are treated as Cabinet orders.
The actual Cabinet prices will be broadcast in the Instrument Creation (MO) market data messages
at position 625-643, Low Limit. The Cabinet values are currently available at
www.cme.com/contractspecs.
The Cabinet pricing change will be available for customer testing in the certification

Please note: there is no change to
ITC 2.1 market data messages at this time, which will continue to reflect Cabinet
trade prices as 0.
Reminder: CME Euroyen TIBOR Futures and
Options Launch
Effective
Sunday, February 4, 2007 (for trade date Monday, February 5),
CME Euroyen
TIBOR futures and options will launch on the CME Globex platform. Electronically traded CME
Euroyen TIBOR futures and options are identical to and fully fungible with the currently available
floor contracts. Please note: these products have different Product and Instrument Group Codes, as

The Euroyen market has become more volatile in recent months and this is a particularly
auspicious time to offer hedgers and traders even wider access to CME Euroyen contracts via CME
Globex.
These new products are now available for customer testing in the certification environment.
