CME reverses grain trading hours extension

The world's largest exchange plans to cut back trading hours for grain futures less than a year after extending them, with market pauses also on the table

CME Group, the world’s largest futures exchange, is planning to reverse a decision it had made a year ago to extend trading hours for grain futures, amid concerns that some traders are being disadvantaged.

In a letter sent to customers and media yesterday, CME said it planned to reduce trading hours for grain and oilseed markets, following a customer survey conducted on the issue last week.
