    • As you were notified in CME Group Special Executive Reports, S-5972, dated Thursday, October 13, 2011 and in S-5801, dated Wednesday, June 15, 2011, CME synchronized its Brazilian real (BRL)/U.S. dollar (USD) futures and options daily settlement price determination time with that of the BM&FBOVESPA U.S. dollar/Brazilian real futures contract. Although this change has been implemented since Monday, June 15, 2011, there was not operational impact until Brazil went on Daylight Saving Time over the weekend preceding Monday, October 17, 2011, when the first earlier settlement price determination occurred.

The trading hours for CME BRL/USD futures & options on futures contracts remain as follows:
