CBOT President and CEO Bernard W. Dan said, "Our customers recognize the tight bid/ask spreads offered by our electronically traded Precious Metals complex, and market users response has been overwhelmingly positive, as evidenced by the record growth in both volume and open interest throughout this week."
The CBOT's 100 percent electronically traded Precious Metals complex, which is composed of mini-sized and full-sized Gold and Silver futures, offers customers a fully transparent and highly liquid market environment for which the exchange is known. In addition, the complex provides the significant advantage of trading on the exchange's premier electronic trading platform, which features straight-through processing and around-the-clock accessibility worldwide.
