Dear CME® Globex® Customers,

As previously announced, CME is launching new CME Globex options on futures functionality in August, which will allow customers to access electronic CME Eurodollar options via CME iLink® 2.0.

With this launch, CME will implement three distinct new functionalities:

  • A new Indicative Price message type (MX), via CME Market Data API (MD API) 2.X and CME Market Data Network (MDN);
  • Enhanced Request for Quote functionality; and,
  • New Mass Quotes message for CME-designated Eurodollar options Market Makers.

Documentation on the CME certification requirements for this release is now available.

CME will conduct a CME Eurodollar options mock trading session in the CME Globex production environment on Saturday, July 23. All customers interested in trading CME Eurodollar options on futures are invited to participate. CME strongly recommends that customers who will use the new mass quote functionality participate in the CME Eurodollar options mock trading session.

Participants must have a current CME Globex production connection and register with CME Globex Account Management to participate.
