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.
Implied Functionality for CME Eurozone HICP And CME Housing Futures
Effective Sunday, September 10 (for trade date Monday, September 11), CME is launching implied spread functionality for allCME Eurozone HICP and CME Housing futures and futures spreads.
As a reminder, position 777 of the Instrument Creation (MO (m-oh)) message indicates whether a product will return legs and
create implied orders. For more information, please see the CME Market Data Platform Message Specifications.
The implied spread functionality will be available for customer testing in the CME certification environment for both the
CME Eurozone HICP and CME Housing futures and futures spreads Sunday, August 27, 2006.
