The malfunction impacted a global trading platform where millions of contracts tracking major U.S. indexes like the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq 100 are traded daily. Market participants expressed frustration as they lost valuable trading hours during a critical period when some positions are typically rolled over from one monthly contract to the next.
CyrusOne, the operator of the data center in the Chicago area where the CME systems are housed, attributed the disruption to a cooling system malfunction at their facility.
