Beginning Sunday, March 25, 2007, CME Foreign Exchange (FX) Futures and Options products trading on the CME Globex platform will open for trading at 3:00 p.m. Central Time (CT) each Sunday (currently the market opens at 5:00 p.m. CT). Additionally, the CME Globex pre-market open for FX futures and options will be shortened to 30 minutes (from 45 minutes), resulting in a 2:30 start for the pre-opening session.
