Reminder Regarding Expiration of Trading for NYMEX Spot Month Side-by-Side Contracts Listed on CME GLOBEX®
This reminder concerns spot month trading in "side-by-side" contracts settled on a final basis on the settlement prices for the physically-settled contracts offered by NYMEX in the same underlying commodity. For all such contracts, trading will cease trading on CME GLOBEX® simultaneously with the close of Regular Trading Hours (not including any post-settlement period) of the physically-settled contract that they reference. For example, trading in the spot month for the regular size financially-settled Crude Oil Futures contract (WS) will cease at 2:30 PM (New York time) on its final day of trading, notwithstanding that trading in other contract months for WS will continue through to 5:15 PM (New York time) on CME GLOBEX®.
