CME Group announced the launch of new oil and gold contracts available for 24-hour trading. This initiative aims to provide global traders with continuous access to energy and precious metals markets, catering to the rising demand for liquidity outside traditional floor hours. According to reports, these new derivative products will support round-the-clock sessions to enhance market participation.
This move comes as global exchanges strive to compete with spot trading platforms and over-the-counter markets that operate without interruption. In comparison to peers, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) reported strong growth in derivative volumes during the last quarter per market data, positioning CME to aggressively capture market share in off-peak commodity trading.
