CME Globex Performance Change for E-mini S&P 500 Futures - This Week

Effective this Sunday, October 30 (trade date Monday, October 31), CME Globex will implement internal changes to the lead month future contracts in E-mini S&P markets that will result in additional processing on a small subset of match events. These changes will have no functional or messaging impacts to client gateways. In internal testing, these changes increased latency slightly and had no impact on market dynamics. There is no plan to apply these changes to other markets at this time.

UpdateUpdate - CME FX Instrument Migration and Market Data Channel Consolidation - Resting Order Eliminations - This Week

† Denotes update to the article

On this Sunday, October 30 (trade date Monday, October 31), to streamline the dissemination of CME FX market data offerings, CME FX futures and options instruments will be migrated onto distinct existing market segments and their MDP 3.0 market data channels consolidated on CME Globex as follows:

• Migrate all CME FX futures and FX Link instruments to a single market segment (MDP 3.0: Tag 1300-MarketSegmentID=88) from the current two market segments.
• Migrate all CME FX options instruments to a single existing market segment (MDP 3.0: Tag 1300-MarketSegmentID=52) from the current two market segments.
• Consolidate the CME FX futures market data channels to a single market data channel (MDP 3.0: TAG ApplID-1180=314) from the current two market data channels
• Consolidate the CME FX Options market data channels to a single market data channel (MDP 3.0: TAG ApplID-1180=321) from the current two market data channels

With this update the IP configuration for MSGW iLink and Drop Copy sessions will be updated. iLink and Drop Copy Convenience Gateway (CGW) network configurations will not be impacted.

Source IP information for configured firewall or network devices will not be impacted by these changes. These changes will not impact data licensing and entitlement requirements. The updated MDP 3.0 channel config file will reflect the new CME FX futures and options product mapping.

To facilitate the change, customers are asked to cancel all Good ‘Till Cancel (GTC) and Good ‘Till Date (GTD) orders for UDS on options, market segment (MDP 3.0: Tag 1300-MarketSegmentID=88) after the close on Friday, October 28. After 4:00 p.m. CT on Friday, October 28, all remaining GT orders for UDS on options will be cancelled or deleted by the CME Global Command Center (GCC).   †Please note: After the market segment migration, for any resting GTC/GTD orders with duplicate tag 11-ClOrdID values per SenderComp and market segment, the GTC/GTD order with the more recent timestamp will be eliminated prior to the market open.

In internal testing, the instrument migration reduced CME Globex latency for the futures less than 10% at the median and up to 90% at the 99th percentile. CME FX options’ latency remained unchanged.

Please review the client impact assessment for additional details.

These changes are currently available for customer testing in New Release.

Please review the Client Impact Assessment for full technical details and launch schedule.
