Reminder: CME Market Data Platform Change 
As previously announced, effective this Sunday, December 17, CME is removing the following market data messages for CME Commodity, CME Equity and CME FX options only from the CME Market Data Platform administration channel (2) in both the production and certification environments.

  • Trading Day Timetables (MH) messages
  • Group State Change Marker (MJ) messages
  • Start of CME Globex Platform (MK) messages
  • Start of Instrument Referential Broadcasting (ML) messages
  • End of Instrument Referential Broadcasting (MM) messages

As of Sunday, December 17, these messages for CME Commodity, CME Equity and CME FX options will be disseminated only via their respective CME Market Data Platform product data channels.

These same market data messages will be removed from the Administration channel (2) for all other CME products effective Tuesday, December 19 in the certification environment and Sunday, January 21, 2007 in the production environment.

There is no change to the Instrument Creation (MO) Messages - Replay Only and Instrument Creation (MO) Messages - Replay Only (Excluding CME Eurodollar Options) channels (1 and 16).
