The Chicago Mercantile Exchange will launch its new electronic trading system, Globex2, on Sept. 20.
The Globex2 system will offer trading in the CME's interest rate, equity index and currency contracts during hours when open outcry trading is closed.
The Globex2 technology was acquired in a technology swap with the Societe des Bourses Francaise, in which the SBF and MATIF obtained use of the CME's trade-clearing system.
