Trading At CBOE Resumes Floor-wide

The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) announced that trading has resumed floor-wide in equity and Index options, as of 11:37 a.m. CST (Chicago time), with the exception of approximately 125 option classes that had new series added this morning, following December expiration.

(Note: a series is an option contract within a class with a particular strike price and expiration date. For example, if XYZ is the class, the June 75 call is the series).

A floor-wide trading halt, due to a database problem, was called at 9:20 a.m. Trading re-opened in the following indexes by 10:23 a.m.: SPX, OEX, DJX, DIA, NDX, QQQ and IWM.
