Zero Prices for CME Snowfall Futures  
Effective Sunday, June 17, 2007 (for trade date Monday, June 18), CME Snowfall futures will support 0 (zero) trade and daily settlement prices. With this enhancement, customers will be able to trade CME Snowfall futures outrights at zero prices; spreads may still be traded at positive, zero and negative prices as appropriate.

CME Credit Index Event Futures Launch  
Effective Sunday, June 17, 2007 (for trade date Monday, June 18), CME Credit Index Event futures will launch on the CME Globex platform. These futures have Product Code CH2 and Instrument Group Code CH.

CME Credit Index Event futures merge the benefits of over-the-counter (OTC) credit default swaps with the advantages of exchange-traded derivatives. These new futures provide a transparent and liquid means of writing protection on and acquiring protection against a number of defined corporate credit events, including bankruptcy and failure to pay.

CME Credit Index Event futures will be available in the New Release Certification environment for customer testing this Monday, June 11.

With this change, strikes will be listed at 12.5 basis points intervals, ATM ± 6 (150 points) for all CME Eurodollar options. Outside the ATM ± 6 range, strikes will continue to be listed at 25 points intervals.

NYMEX has announced that, as of September 28, CME Globex market data for NYMEX and COMEX products traded on CME Globex will no longer be available via the NYMEX ITC2.1 multicast feed.

More information on these changes, and the differences between CME and NYMEX ITC2.1 market data, is available online.

Reminder: NYMEX Options Launch on CME Globex  
Effective Sunday, June 24, 2007 (for trade date Monday, June 25), options on NYMEX Crude Oil and Natural Gas futures and COMEX Gold and Silver futures will launch on CME Globex.

For NYMEX options, CME is introducing variable length strike prices of up to 5 bytes in the Complete Instrument Code field in RLC market data messages and in SecurityDesc (FIX tag 107) in CME iLink messages. Currently, in these fields CME supports fixed strike prices within product groups of up to 4 bytes. More information on RLC market data is available in the CME Market Data Platform SDK RLC Message Specifications volume. More information on CME iLink messaging is available in the CME iLink SDK Message Specifications volume.

CME will host two mock trading sessions in the CME production environment for customers, on Saturday, June 16 and Saturday, June 23. More information on the mock trading sessions will be available soon.

Reminder: Legacy CME Certification Environment Decommission  
Effective July 1, 2007, CME is decommissioning the legacy CME certification environment.

More information on the new certification environments is available at www.cme.com/cert.

New IDs for the legacy CME certification environment are no longer available.

Any customers currently connected to the legacy CME certification environment will need to migrate to the new environments before the July 1 cut-off. Please contact your CME Globex Account Manager for more information and to start your migration.
