Dear CME Globex Customers,

The timely communication of innovations to our customers is our priority. As CME continues to introduce new products, functionality and technology on the CME Globex platform, the volume of individual CME Globex Notices has increased. We are therefore proud to introduce this new, weekly summary of current CME Globex Notices.

A summary will be delivered each week with links to all current CME Globex Notices, and a single notice will be sent in case of an urgent update. The full text of all CME Globex Notices will still be available online at www.cme.com/globexnotices.

If you have any questions or concerns about this new format, or any of the following items, please contact your CME Globex Account Manager at 312.634.8700; or in Europe at +44.207.623.2550.
