The New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. confirmed today that it will migrate its after hours energy futures contracts from NYMEX ACCESS, the exchange's after-hours electronic trading system, to the CME Globex electronic trading platform, which operates virtually 24 hours each trading day, beginning on August 6 for trade date August 7.
The migration will include the physically delivered crude oil, natural gas, heating oil, gasoline and propane futures, as well as the platinum and palladium futures contracts, all of which will trade only prior to the opening and following the market close of the NYMEX floor.
Last night, NYMEX announced that it will offer the same physically delivered energy futures contracts on CME Globex during its regular open outcry trading hours, beginning on September 4 for trade date September 5. The contracts will trade side by side in conjunction with NYMEX trading floor hours, and they will be fungible with the floor-traded NYMEX energy contracts.
