Trading on the CME Group, the world’s largest derivatives exchange, was halted for several hours on Friday following a fault at a data centre.
“Due to a cooling issue at CyrusOne data centers, our markets are currently halted,” the CME said in a statement early on Friday.
CME said it was working to fix the issue “in the near term”, without giving further details.
CME handled an average of 28.3mn contracts a day during the third quarter on futures tied to interest rates, Treasuries, energy and equities.
