Monday, July 9, 2012, 7:51 AM Likely helped by the grains in a full-blown weather market, seat prices at the CBOT (CME) rose 22% in June, with 11 seats traded. The sellers were individuals and the buyers were trading firms and hedge funds - underlying the move away from open-outcry to computer-driven trading. Comment! [Financials]
Tuesday, July 3, 2012, 8:10 AM CME Group averaged 13.1M contacts/day in June, -11% Y/Y and -1% from May. For the quarter, volume was off 9% Y/Y. The decline was led by the vaunted Eurodollar contract, volume off 28% Y/Y as the Fed's ZIRP zaps activity in the short-term interest rate area. (PR) Comment! [Financials]
Monday, July 2, 2012, 7:52 AM McGraw-Hill (MHP) and CME Group announce the launch of S&P Dow Jones Indices - their joint venture to combine Wall Street's best-known indicators. McGraw will own 73% of the new company and expects it to "add a couple of cents" to earnings. (PR) Comment!
Friday, June 22, 2012, 12:28 PM CME's steel derivatives business gets a boost as Deutsche Bank moves its steel trading operations there from the LME. The undergoing transition at LME - as Hong Kong Exchanges moves to close its purchase - could provide even more opportunities for other exchanges to pick up business. Comment! [Commodities]
Thursday, June 14, 2012, 10:30 AM CME Group (CME) agrees to return $130M in property for the benefit of MF Global's (MFGLQ.PK) former commodity customers, says James Giddens, the trustee for the bankrupt firm's broker-dealer unit. The deal will be implemented after the approval of the bankruptcy court. (More on MF Global) Comment! [Financials]
Tuesday, June 5, 2012, 4:49 PM It's down to the ICE and Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing as suitors for the LME, and each have been requested to resubmit their bids on June 7. It's heady territory for the relative newcomer, now in competition with the 135 year old HKEC after the venerable CME was dispatched from the process 2 weeks ago. Comment! [Financials, M&A]
Monday, June 4, 2012, 8:35 AM CME Group is downgraded to Underperform at Zacks, which notes the exchange's exposure to just 2 product lines - interest rate and equity futures contracts - leaves it vulnerable. There's also the competition from ICE which recently launched grain futures with lower margins and expanded trading hours. Shares +1.7% premarket. Comment! [Financials]
Friday, May 25, 2012, 7:01 AM CME Group declares a 5-for-1 stock split in the form of a 400% stock dividend to be paid on July 20 to shareholders of record on July 10. (PR) 2 Comments
Tuesday, May 22, 2012, 7:43 AM CME Group has been eliminated from the bidding process to purchase the London Metal Exchange (LME), say sources, leaving just the ICE and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing as possible suitors. Comment! [Financials, M&A]
Thursday, May 17, 2012, 1:21 PM CME, ICE and Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing, which are vying to buy the London Metal Exchange, "have to show compelling reason" to member-shareholders to sell, Dow Jones reports, quoting LME Chairman Brian Bender. The bidders need to allay concerns about possible changes to LME ops that could hurt their profitability. Comment! [M&A, Commodities]
Wednesday, May 16, 2012, 3:47 AM NYSE Euronext (NYX) is out of the bidding to buy the London Metal Exchange after its reported £800M offer was deemed too low. Among the potential suitors still standing: CME Group (CME) and IntercontinentalExchange (ICE). 1 Comment [M&A, Financials]
Wednesday, May 2, 2012, 2:28 PM "People need to study their facts" before criticizing speculators, CME chairman Terry Duffy says in response to Pres. Obama's blaming traders for driving fuel prices higher. Speculators provide vital liquidity to markets: "When the Dow goes above 13,000, Google goes above $600/share and everybody celebrates, who do you think did that? The U.S. equity market is 100% speculators." 15 Comments [Energy, U.S. Economy]
Tuesday, May 1, 2012, 8:40 AM CME Group is set to extend its hours for grain trading as soon as this month, according to sources, as it responds to ICE, which now offers a 22-hour trading day and is planning look-alike contracts for corn, wheat, and beans. The expanded hours means trading will be open when the USDA releases its key data (in the past, always pre or post-market hours). Comment! [Financials, Commodities]
Tuesday, April 17, 2012, 2:56 PM "We caution against mistakenly categorizing speculation as a form of manipulation," says the CME, responding to the President's proposals this morning. "To use margin requirements to control cash prices is misplaced ... (this) would make the markets less efficient, less tied to fundamentals ... push hedgers out of the market ... (and) make oil more expensive for all consumers." 17 Comments [Commodities]
Friday, April 13, 2012, 3:47 PM Independent traders staged a walkout of CME Group (CME -1.7%) options on Eurodollar futures, protesting a large, privately negotiated trade a day earlier they claimed was unfair. Floor traders suddenly got tired of being dinosaurs: "This has been going on for years," one trader says. "The pit traders aren't privy to the information... [we] are so behind the curve." 1 Comment [Financials, On the Move]
Tuesday, April 3, 2012, 8:39 AM CME Group's (CME) daily average trading volume slumped in March to 12.5M contracts amid a 13% Y/Y decline in trading of interest-rate futures. For Q1, trading volume fell 11% Y/Y to an average of 12.3M contracts a day. 1 Comment [Financials]
