On Monday, February 27, 2012, the daily settlement price determination time for the CME Brazilian real (BRL) / U.S. dollar (USD) futures will shift to 1:00 PM Central Time (CT) from 12:00 noon CT due to Brazil ending its Daylight Saving Time (DST) observance on Saturday, February 25, 2012 and returning to Standard Time (ST). CME synchronizes its BRL/USD futures and options on futures contract daily settlement determination times to coincide with those of the BM&FBOVESPA USD/BRL futures contract (4:00 PM São Paulo time). Date changes from DST to ST and ST to DST in Brazil and the United States impact the CME BRL/USD product daily settlement determination times throughout the year.
