NYMEX Announces Trading Hours For After Hours Contracts Traded On CME Globex®

The New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. today announced the trading hours for the after hours physically delivered energy futures contracts that will migrate from NYMEX ACCESS® to CME Globex, beginning on August 6 for trade date August 7.

The electronic trading hours and trade date for these products will be modified to reflect the trade date change that occurs daily on CME Globex at 5:15 PM New York time. Following the migration, the after hours trading session that will occur between the close of the trading floor and the close of the business day on CME Globex (3:15 PM to 5:15 PM New York time for the energy futures contracts and 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM New York time for the platinum and palladium futures contract) will be considered part of the current trade date. Trading for the next trade date will begin with the reopening of CME Globex at 6:00 PM New York time on Sundays through Thursdays.

All Exchange-defined calendar spreads, strips, and physical-to-physical inter-commodity spreads (RB:CL, HU:CL, HO:CL, HU:HO, HU:RB, RB:HO) will follow the same trading hours as their respective outright products above.

There are currently no changes in the trading times of the COMEX Division products trading on NYMEX ACCESS. Those products will continue to trade under the current trading hours and trade date mechanism on NYMEX ACCESS.
