Side-by-Side
Some contracts trade around the clock on CME® Globex® while also trading
side-by-side via open outcry during the day on the CME floor. Examples include:
- CME Foreign Exchange (FX) Futures,
- CME Interest Rate Futures.
For these side-by-side products, the CME Globex session and the open outcry trading hours
together compose the Trading Day. For most contracts, the first CME Globex session of the week
starts on Sunday evening, with the opening rotation starting at 17:00 CT. This session continues
through the open outcry trading period on the CME floor on Monday, ending on Monday
afternoon. Similarly, each subsequent Trading Day begins with the start of the next CME Globex
session, at varying times in the afternoon on Monday through Thursday.
Other side-by-side contracts trade on GLOBEX only during the product's corresponding open
outcry session. Examples include:
- Lean Hog Futures,
- Feeder Cattle Futures.
Similarly, the GLOBEX session and the open outcry trading hours together compose the Trading Day
for these products. However, GLOBEX trading begins and ends approximately at the same time as the
open outcry trading session on the CME floor.
