CME Group, the world’s largest derivatives exchange, said it had halted trading on its metals and natural gas markets after facing “technical issues”.
The Chicago-based exchange said it was investigating issues on its metals, natural gas futures and options markets on Wednesday, according to its website. It did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The exchange has previously suffered from outages that have disrupted investors’ ability to trade.
Last November, CME had an almost 10-hour outage in equities, bonds, currencies and commodities. It blamed the outage on a “cooling issue” at a data centre near its headquarters in Chicago.
