CME American-style foreign exchange options on futures contracts will trade on CME Globex during Regular Trading Hours (RTH) when the CME Foreign exchange (FX) trading floors will be closed for holidays.  Therefore, for example, for the upcoming Veterans Day 2005 holiday, the currently listed CME American-style FX options will open for trading on CME Globex at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 10, 2005, (for the trade date of Friday, November 11, 2005), and trade straight through until the normal holiday close at 3:15 p.m. on Friday, November 11, 2005.

Please note that this effective extension of CME Globex trading hours for CME American-style FX options does not result in any new contracts listed for trading on CME Globex, nor does it change the prior day’s termination of trading at 2:00 p.m. on the trading floor, for the CME November 2005 (Week 2) American-style FX options contracts on Thursday, November 10, 2005.
