CME Group is preparing a technical and product expansion on CME Globex for Sunday, November 15, with the related futures trade date beginning Monday, November 16. The exchange outlined the timetable in its CME Globex Notice dated November 2.

More implied liquidity for spreads

For selected short-term interest-rate futures, CME Group will extend implied trading to Calendar and Butterfly spreads with mixed tick legs. The company says the change is designed to support price discovery and order matching efficiency.

For Calendar spreads, off-tick implied calculations on the second leg will be rounded down for bids and up for asks to the nearest valid leg tick. Butterfly matches may produce split-price fills on the second leg. Clients can test execution, rounding and fill processing in the New Release environment before the production launch.

New index and Nikkei products

The same timetable introduces an exchange-defined implied equity-index Calendar futures spread using the new AQ strategy type. The affected contracts include E-mini S&P 500 Equal Weight futures, E-mini Russell 1000 futures, E-mini Russell 1000 Value futures, E-mini Russell 1000 Growth futures, E-mini Russell 2000 Value futures and E-mini Russell 2000 Growth futures.

CME Group 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 in Japan Standard Time from Wednesday, November 18.
