CME Globex Order Routing for BM&FBOVESPA Derivatives

Effective this Tuesday, September 30, CME Globex customers will be able to trade BM&FBOVESPA derivative products directly.

Users must be registered with a BM&FBOVESPA broker, and the broker must configure the BM&FBOVESPA registration and credit control systems in advance of trading. Customers are also required to access CME Globex via a trading application certified for BM&FBOVESPA order routing.

With this launch, customers in more than 80 countries using the CME Globex electronic trading platform can trade BM&FBOVESPA products directly, including futures and options on One Day Inter-Bank Deposits, the U.S. Dollar/Brazilian Real FX rate, the Bovespa Stock Index (pending regulatory approval for U.S. customers), and commodities such as Arabica coffee, live cattle and corn.

Starting in Q4 2008, BM&FBOVESPA customers will have the ability to trade CME Group products directly through their BM&FBOVESPA connections, including CME Group futures and options on interest rates, equity indexes, foreign exchange, commodities, energy and metals products.
