CME CME Group Inc

Technical issues have forced the Chicago Mercantile Exchange to halt electronic futures trading, Bloomberg reports Sunday.

According to the report, electronic trading is only available for Malaysian equity-index derivatives. All other Globex electronic-trading markets, including Treasurys, oil, gold and U.S. stock indexes are affected.

A note on the CME Group website says "CME Globex markets will Pre-open at 20:30 Central Time and Open at 21:00 Central Time. All day and session orders, including GTDs with today's trade date will be cancelled. All GTCs that have been acknowledged will remain working."
