As you know, CME experienced a partial interruption of price data transmission (ITC market data), which occurred during intermittent periods of time over the last two days.  This problem resulted from internal technical issues.  Immediately upon discovery, we implemented an interim solution that allowed us to provide an alternate data stream, while working to identify and correct the problem.   The root cause has been identified, and a permanent solution will be implemented after the close of trading on Friday, March 26^th.

We sincerely apologize for any difficulties this issue may have caused.
