- CME Globex will support mixed-tick calendar and butterfly spreads for selected short-term interest-rate futures.
- New equity-index calendar spreads and Nikkei basis products are scheduled for the following trading week, subject to regulatory review where applicable.
- Treasury Link remains a planned first-quarter 2027 addition connecting BrokerTec cash Treasuries with CBOT futures.
CME Group is preparing a broad Globex expansion that will change how selected futures spreads are represented and matched. The exchange's November 2 notice sets Sunday, November 15 as the effective date, with the related trade date beginning Monday, November 16.
More implied liquidity for spreads
For selected short-term interest-rate futures, CME Globex will extend implied trading to calendar and butterfly spreads with mixed tick legs. CME says the change is designed to support price discovery and order matching efficiency. Calendar-spread bids and asks will use different rounding directions when the second leg trades in a larger tick increment, while butterfly matches can produce split-price fills.
New index and Nikkei products
The same timetable introduces an exchange-defined implied equity-index calendar spread using strategy type AQ. The affected contracts include E-mini S&P 500 Equal Weight futures and futures linked to the Russell 1000 and Russell 2000 indexes.
CME also plans to list Nikkei Basis Trade at Cash Open products in Japanese yen and U.S. dollars, pending completion of regulatory review. Trading is scheduled for Wednesdays and Fridays Japan Standard Time from Wednesday, November 18.
Longer-term Treasury roadmap
Treasury Link spreads remain planned for the first quarter of 2027, also subject to regulatory review. The proposed functionality would connect BrokerTec U.S. Treasury cash instruments with CBOT Treasury futures in one transaction, reducing the risk of executing the two legs at different times.
The notice adds a technical milestone for customers: affected iLink and Drop Copy test sessions will be aligned to the 9000-25000 port range in the New Release and Certification environments. That change concerns testing connectivity rather than a new earnings forecast.
