In Q2 2006, NYMEX energy products are scheduled to launch on the CME Globex electronic trading platform.

Upon launch, CME will disseminate electronically-traded NYMEX market data, in RLC format only, on a dedicated CME Market Data Platform channel. The complete NYMEX ITC format market data feed (including Pit-traded market data) will be available only from NYMEX.

Consistent with current CME policy, CME-disseminated NYMEX market data used for trading purposes via order-routing systems will be fee-waived. To redistribute any NYMEX market data for non-trading purposes, whether sourced from CME or NYMEX, customers are required to execute the NYMEX Market Data Agreement. Contact MarketDataServices@nymex.com for more information and a copy of the Agreement.

CME will support a Top 5 depth of market for the electronically-traded NYMEX products. NYMEX data redistributors may combine depth of market with top-of-book data as long as the NYMEX Market Data Agreement has been executed. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your Market Data Operations contact, either Kevin Brady at 312.648.3653 or Marilee Radecki at 312.930.8193.  You can also contact or CME Information Products Management at 312.930.8395 regarding any contractual type issues.
