CME Group Metals Update
As a result of customer demand, the CME Group metals complex will continue to trade on the e-cbot platform through June 2008. Details of a longer term solution will be provided at a later date.

We will continue to fully support the trading, clearing, marketing and customer support for the 100 oz. gold, mini-sized gold, 5,000 oz. silver and mini-sized silver futures and options on futures contracts.

CME Group is the only exchange to offer a straight-thru clearing platform through its electronic vault receipt program as well as to provide for directed fungibility of its mini-sized gold and silver futures contracts with its full-size counterparts.
