Tim Andriesen, Managing Director,?Agricultural Commodities?and Alternative Investments, CME Group said via a press release,?”We’ve received significant customer feedback about the extended hours we implemented for CBOT grains last summer. As we start a new year, we think the timing is right to review those changes and industry feedback more formally to ensure we’re continually meeting our customers’ needs. Beyond hours, we continue to explore other suggestions from our customers on ways to enhance our products and markets.”
CME will interact with participants regarding CBOT grain and oilseed trading hours, which had been expanded last May to 21 hours per day, via one-on-one conversations, customer focus groups and an online survey.
