CME Announces Plans to Offer 24/7 WTI Oil and Gold Contracts
CME Group plans to launch 24/7 trading for smaller WTI crude oil and existing gold futures contracts.
The Chicago Mercantile Group announced plans to offer 24-hour, seven-days-a-week trading in new, smaller crude oil futures and its existing gold contract, the exchange said Thursday.
The new oil-linked contract, set to be one-tenth the size of the existing Micro WTI futures contract, will debut Aug. 30, according to the release. 24/7 trading in 1-ounce gold futures will begin July 26. The oil and gold contracts, which are still pending regulatory review, will be cash-settled and listed on NYMEX and COMEX, respectively.

We have to keep the casino open. Maybe the CME can also offer free packs of cigarettes once you gamble (i mean invest) over $500 in Gold and Crude Oil contracts on a Monday morning at 0200 am like the casinos used too / sarc
CME going 24/7 on commodities is just admitting that crypto already won the markets never sleep argument and everyone else is catching up
Hyperliquid has them shaking in their boots. That’s why I bought an opened a small position in $PURR.
The major exchanges are planning for 23/5 in December.
Pretty much this, this is just them using their incumbency whilst non-crypto perps are banned in the US to front fun companies like Lighter, Coinbase and Hyperliquid.
Let’s see how this goes.
But 5-6 PM is Iran Bombing Hour! Ugh!
So what happened to that guy who had to go pick up 80,000 lbs of live cows because he was trading cattle futures on CME? lol
He had to MOOve out
Great news, now we can have new peace deals with Iran every day instead of just on Tuesdays
Bad news, now we can violate ceasefires every day instead of just over the weekend when markets close
