      Dow Jones and S&P Market Data Dissemination
      CME Group will conduct disaster recovery testing, during which the dissemination of the Dow Jones and S&P streamlined FIX/FAST market data will be impacted on the following dates:

      • Saturday, November 23
        • Dow Jones and S&P market data will not be disseminated to customers connecting via CME Group Chicago area datacenters. All other connectivity options will receive production cash index data utilizing the new source IPs only.

      The new source IPs are currently available in the config.xml file on the   FTP site.

      Source IP Changes for BM&FBOVESPA and Mexder on the Market Data Platform
      Effective Sunday, November 10 (trade date Monday, November 11), CME Group will be changing the multicast source IPs for the Brazilian Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&FBOVESPA) and MexDer Mercado Mexicano de Derivados (MexDer) market data channels. If a firewall or network device is configured with the source IP information, please correct your configuration to use the entire range of eligible addresses. Port, multicast addresses, and source IPs for BM&FBOVESPA Market Data Platform are available in the config.xml file on the  FTP site. A new config.xml will be available for customer download in production starting Sunday, October 20.

      These changes are currently available in New Release.

      As a reminder, CME Group requires that customers configure servers to connect to the Market Data Platform ports and multicast addresses for each desired channel. CME Group does not recommend restricting data flow via the source IPs, as these may change without notice.

      New User Defined Spread Combination Expiration Rules
      Effective Sunday, November 10 and 17 (trade date Monday, November 11 and 18), the expiration rules for User Defined Spreads (UDS) combinations on CME Globex will be changed to better meet customers’ trading needs.

      With this change, CME Globex will assign the expiration date and time as either the earliest leg expiration or the end of the current trading week, whichever occurs first. If there is a working Good ‘Till Cancel (GTC) order on the Combo after the close on Friday, the expiration will be extended an additional week. This extension will repeat as many times as necessary until the earliest leg expires. Tag 866-EventDate contains this expiration date and time in the Market Data Platform FIX/FAST Security Definition (tag 35-MsgType=d) message.

      Currently, an options strategy remains an active contract on CME Globex for two weeks or until the leg with the shortest maturity expires, unless there is any activity during the week of expiration.

      Please note: This change will not impact the expiration rules for the Covered, which continues to expire at the end of the trading date in which it has been created.

      This launch will be phased in as follow:

      New UDS Combo Expiration and Extension
