Reminder: Dynamic Settlement Price Updates to Instrument Creation (MO) Messages 
Currently, Instrument Creation (MO) market data messages are available throughout the week on the following CME Market Data Platform channels:

• Instrument Creation (MO) Messages - Replay Only (1)
• Instrument Creation (MO) Messages - Replay Only Excluding CME Eurodollar Options (16)

Updated daily settlement price information is disseminated during the week via the Price (M7) market data message. As detailed in CME Market Data Platform RLC Message Specifications, customers must obtain current daily settlement price information from the M7 message.

Effective Sunday, January 21, 2007, CME will dynamically update daily settlement price data in MO market data messages in the production environment. The following data will be updated in MO messages as soon as it is published in an M7 message:

• Settlement Date, position 578 - 585, expressed as yyyyMMdd
• Reference/Settlement Price Indicator, position 586, 1 = Settlement Price
• Settlement Price, positions 587 - 605

With this launch, MO messages with the current daily settlement price information will be available on CME Market Data Platform channels 1 and 16. Up-to-date daily settlement prices will thus be available to customers throughout the week via both M7 and MO market data messages.

These dynamic updates are currently available in the certification environment.

Reminder: Market Data Alert 
To better support customer trading, this Sunday, January 21, CME will complete internal updates that will change some existing ISIN codes. If your front-end system requires it, customers must purge their instrument databases for both the CME certification and production environments and re-populate using new Instrument Creation (MO (m-oh)) market data messages. Please contact your front-end system provider for more information.

The new MO market data messages for the CME certification and production environments will be published before the start of trading on Sunday, January 21, via the CME Market Data Platform.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the CME Globex Control Center (GCC) at 312.456.2391.

Reminder: NYMEX iPort 3-2-1 Plus Index on CME Globex 
Effective this Sunday, January 21, 2007 (for trade date Monday, January 22), the NYMEX iPort^TM3-2-1 Plus futures, spreads and TAS contracts will launch on the CME Globex electronic trading platform.

NYMEX iPort products are new index and portfolio instruments, designed to maximize potential exposure and hedge sector risk in energy and metals markets. NYMEX iPort indexes are different combinations of benchmark NYMEX contracts. The NYMEX 3-2-1 Plus Index equals the sum of the value of the nearest NYMEX futures contracts divided by ten, as follows: three NYMEX Light Sweet Crude Oil contracts, two NYMEX RBOB contracts, one NYMEX Heating Oil contract, and one NYMEX Natural Gas contract.

These new NYMEX iPort products are now available for customer testing in the certification environment.

CME Globex contract specifications for these products are available in the NYMEX Snapshot.

More information on NYMEX and COMEX products on the CME Globex platform is available at www.nymexoncmeglobex.com.

Reminder: CME Market Data Platform Change 
As previously announced, effective this Sunday, January 21, 2007, CME is removing all of the following market data messages from the CME Market Data Platform administration channel (2) in the production environment.

• 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

As of Sunday, January 21, these messages will be disseminated only via their respective CME Market Data Platform product data channels.

These same market data messages have been removed from the Administration channel (2) in the certification environment, and in both the certification and production environment for CME Equity, FX and Commodity options only.

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).

CME strongly recommends customers use the Instrument Creation (MO) Messages - Replay Only and Instrument Creation (MO) Messages - Replay Only (Excluding CME Eurodollar Options) channels (1 and 16) to download MO messages for the week, and use the product channels for mid-week instrument adds.

More information on the CME Market Data Platform is available in the CME Market Data Platform Developer's Guide. Details on the CME market data messages can be found in the CME Market Data Platform RLC Message Specifications.

Reminder: ITC 2.1 Market Data Change 
This Sunday, January 21, to improve market data bandwidth management, the ITC 2.1 market data messages for CME E-mini Russell 2000^® and CME E-mini S&P 500^® options will be moved from the CME Globex Options Top of Book channel (5) to the CME Globex Spreads Top of Book channel (6).

Please note: this change only affects the ITC 2.1 message channels. There is no change to the RLC channels.

More information on the CME Market Data Platform channels is available online.

Reminder: Instrument Group Code Changes
Effective Sunday, January 28, 2007, the following Instrument Group Code changes will be implemented in both the certification and production environments. With this change, all Instrument Group Codes will conform to the standard two-character length.

To support this change, all resting GTC and GTD orders for these products will be eliminated at session close Friday, January 26.

Instrument Group Codes can be found at position 70 - 71 of the Instrument Creation (MO) market data message. More information on MO messages is available in CME Market Data Platform RLC Message Specifications.

Reminder: Cabinet Pricing Change for CME FX and Commodity Options 
Effective Sunday, February 4, 2007, at customers' requests, CME will provide actual Cabinet prices for CME FX and Commodity outright options in all CME iLink order entry and RLC market data messages. With this change, orders submitted with a price below the Low Limit price, including a 0 (zero) price, will be rejected. Currently, in these products, outright option orders at a 0 price are treated as Cabinet orders.

The actual Cabinet prices will be broadcast in the Instrument Creation (MO) market data messages at position 625-643, Low Limit. The Cabinet values are currently available at www.cme.com/contractspecs.

The Cabinet pricing change will be available for customer testing in the certification environment Sunday, January 21.

Please note: there is no change to ITC 2.1 market data messages at this time, which will continue to reflect Cabinet trade prices as 0.

Reminder: CME Euroyen TIBOR Futures and Options Launch 
Effective Sunday, February 4, 2007 (for trade date Monday, February 5), CME Euroyen TIBOR futures and options will launch on the CME Globex platform. Electronically traded CME Euroyen TIBOR futures and options are identical to and fully fungible with the currently available floor contracts. Please note: these products have different Product and Instrument Group Codes, as detailed in the table below.

The Euroyen market has become more volatile in recent months and this is a particularly auspicious time to offer hedgers and traders even wider access to CME Euroyen contracts via CME Globex.

These new products will be available for customer testing in the certification environment this Monday, January 22.
