Overview
- An hours-long outage tied to a CyrusOne cooling malfunction froze CME’s Globex futures and options and stalled the EBS FX venue before trading resumed.
- CME said BrokerTec EU and US Actives and EBS were operating, and scheduled the futures and options reopen for 7:30 a.m. Central Time.
- LSEG data showed key benchmarks such as WTI crude, U.S. 10‑year Treasury futures, and S&P 500 futures stopped updating during the halt.
- Some brokers pulled products or used internal pricing, and traders reported thin liquidity and delays on certain workflows, with CME Direct initially unavailable.
- CyrusOne reported partial chiller restoration and temporary cooling in place, while U.S. regulators said they were monitoring for disruption and potential volatility.
