The longer trading day will wait a little longer - at least for the CME Group and its key markets. Instead of starting May 14, the new 22-hour cycle will begin on May 20 for trade date May 21. In addition, CME announced that it will expand electronic trading hours for its CBOT Denatured Fuel Ethanol futures and options on CME Globex in line with the expanded hours for grains and oilseeds.
The Kansas City Board of Trade and MGEX in Minneapolis will follow suit.
