Derivatives exchange operator CME Group Inc. (CME) has rolled out trading technology giving brokers the ability to access its listed markets and over-the-counter markets simultaneously.

CME, which operates the Chicago Board of Trade and New York Mercantile Exchange, said the new offering will initially support trading of its benchmark energy futures markets alongside over-the-counter energy swaps.

Exchange-listed products include Nymex West Texas Intermediate crude oil and Nymex Brent crude oil, among others. The company is licensing the technology to inter-dealer brokers to offer trading of global over-the-counter oil markets, including Marex Spectron Group, Compagnie Financiere Tradition Tradition and Tullett Prebon PLC. (TLPR.LN).

The company noted the technology addresses the growing need for management of compliance risk and regulatory requirements, including those proposed under the Dodd-Frank financial-overhaul law.

CME has come under increased scrutiny for its role as a market operator and regulator following the failure last year of MF Global Holdings Ltd. (MFGLQ), one of the largest brokers on its markets.

Like its fellow exchanges, the world's largest futures-market operator has also grappled with slower trading as more investors headed for the sidelines of stock and derivatives markets in the U.S. and Europe.

Shares were recently up 1.1% to $266.76.
