S&P Indexes via Streamlined FIX/FAST
In late Q2 2011, CME Group is launching streamlined FIX/FAST, a new version of the FIX/FAST market data format, optimized for non-actionable price data. The initial launch of streamlined FIX/FAST will support S&P Indices market data. Streamlined FIX/FAST has a   dedicated message specification distinct from the CME Globex FIX/FAST format and a new template.

Please note: CME Group recommends customer systems pull the templates from the CME Group ftp site every week, prior to Sunday start.

To ensure S&P customers currently receiving ITC 2.1 market data have sufficient time to develop, certify (if applicable), and deploy the streamlined FIX/FAST solution, ITC 2.1 market data format will continue to be disseminated for approximately 5 months following the streamlined FIX/FAST launch.

Effective Monday, May 9, 2011, new functionality will only be implemented on streamlined FIX/FAST. Index launches will be supported on both ITC 2.1 and the new streamlined FIX/FAST.

Streamlined FIX/FAST will be available in New Release for customer testing on Monday, May 9, 2011.

Detailed information for S&P Indices via streamlined FIX/FAST is available online in the   Client Impact Assessment.
