Please be reminded that this coming Saturday, June 23, 2007, presents the final testing opportunity for NYMEX market data traded on CME Globex via CME’s MDP, prior to going into production on June 24. Mock Trading Mock trading will be held between 9:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time (CDT) and 11:00 a.m. CDT. NYMEX will be participating in the test, offering side-by-side comparison of NYMEX ITC 2.1 market data via its multi-cast feed versus NYMEX market data traded on CME Globex via the CME MDP.
