Per Rule 15102.D, the daily price limits for CME Frozen Pork Bellies futures are set for a calendar quarter based on the settlement
price for the contract nearest to expiration on the last business day of the prior quarter. The regular price limit is $.02
per pound (expandable to $.03) if that settlement price is below $.60 per pound or $.03 per pound (expandable to $.045) if
that settlement price is equal to or above $.60 per pound.
The settlement price of the July 2005 contract month on Thursday, June 30, 2005 will be used to determine the regular daily
price limit for all contract months during the third quarter (July through September) of this year. At the present time, the
daily price limit is $.03 per pound (expandable to $.045). If the settlement price of the July 2005 contract on June 30 is
below $.60 per pound, then the daily price limit for all contract months will decrease to $.02 per pound (expandable to $.03)
beginning on Friday, July 1, 2005.
A determination will be made for daily price limits in the fourth quarter using the settlement price for the February 2006
contract month on Friday, September 30, 2005.
The text of Rule 15102 is attached.
