Saturday, June 8, 11:33 AM Worried about the dreaded QE taper and the market volatility that will likely accompany it? Consider buying shares of CME Group (CME) and CBOE Holdings (CBOE), Barron's says. CME should benefit from ambiguity regarding the direction of interest rates as a quarter of "clearing and transaction-fee revenue [comes from] interest-rate derivatives," and CBOE has seen VIX trading volumes rise 111% Y/Y through May. (Also: Wells Fargo likes CME) 7 Comments
Tuesday, June 4, 8:30 AM CME Group is upgraded to Buy at Wells Fargo with price target raised to $80-$90 from $55-$65. Analyst Chris Harris sees interest rate and equity trading as strong contributors to growth and the company earning $5/share as cyclically (hopefully cyclically) depressed volumes rise. Shares +1.1% premarket. Comment! [Financials]
Friday, May 31, 3:30 PM CME Group fines Goldman Sachs (GS) $875K (not a typo) over its failure to "diligently supervise" a top Treasury futures trader in 2008.

As is customary, neither the trader nor Goldman admitted or denied the violations. 2 Comments [Financials]
Wednesday, May 29, 10:54 AM CME Group (CME +0.8%) puts the NYMEX Building in NYC on the block, hiring Newmark Grubb Knight Frank as its broker.

Tuesday, May 21, 1:32 PM CME Group plans additional cuts to its giant board, according to Executive Chairman Terry Duffy, speaking ahead of the annual meeting. At 30 members, the board is more than twice as large as those at ICE (11 now, but 15 after NYSE merger), and Nasdaq OMX (11). The large size reflects the CME's long history as a member-owned operation as opposed to today's public company. Comment! [Financials]
