Reminder: CME Market Data API Elimination
As announced in Q4 2005, the legacy CME Market Data API (MD API) will be decommissioned in favor of the CME Market Data Platform, the more efficient and scalable market data dissemination system introduced in July 2005. CME MD API can no longer be supported
due to the growth in market data and the resulting need to reduce both bandwidth consumption and message delivery latencies.
CME has postponed the elimination of CME MD API for two months, from the original date of Saturday, July 1, 2006, to Friday, September 8.
Customers who have not migrated to the CME Market Data Platform as of September 8 will be charged $1000.00 per week, per CME
MD API neighbor (individual technical connection). This support fee is required to offset maintenance costs incurred by CME to sustain the
legacy interface infrastructure. CME reserves the right to escalate charges if necessary.
Reminder: CME Korean Won Launch
Effective Sunday, September 17, 2006 (for trade date Monday, September 18), the CME Korean Won futures and options on futures are scheduled to launch on the CME Globex electronic trading platform. The CME Korean Won
futures and options are designed to provide risk management tools for the U.S. dollar/Korean won currency pair.
The CME Korean Won futures and options will be available for customer testing in the CME certification environment Monday, September 4.
