Listing the COMEX Metals Futures Contracts Side-By-Side on CME Globex®
Beginning on Sunday evening, December 3, 2006 (for trade date December 4, 2006), the New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. will migrate its physically delivered COMEX Metals futures contracts from NYMEX ACCESS®, the Exchange's after hours trading system, to CME Globex® electronic trading platform, which operates virtually 24 hours each trading day. The contracts will trade side by side in conjunction with NYMEX trading floor hours, and they will be fungible with the floor-traded COMEX Metals contracts.

The contracts include COMEX Gold (GC), Silver (SI), Copper (HG) and Aluminum (AL) futures contracts.

The COMEX Gold Options (OG) contract will continue to be available for open outcry trading during the regular floor trading hours, but temporarily de-listed from NYMEX ACCESS, and will not list on CME Globex® at this time.

The contracts on CME Globex® will be listed for the full curve, or all months corresponding with the underlying full-sized futures contract and will be available for trading from 6:00 PM ET Sundays through 5:15 PM ET Fridays, with a 45-minute break each day between 5:15 PM ET and 6:00 PM ET.
