After experiencing several hours of system failure that disrupted global markets, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has begun gradually restoring normal operations. According to a statement on the CME Group's official website, the foreign exchange trading platform EBS Market resumed operations at noon London time. This outage affected this global trading platform, which handles millions of contracts tracking the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq 100 indices, and trades almost 24 hours a day on the CME. At a crucial moment when some positions needed to be rolled over from one monthly contract to another, market participants lost several hours of trading time, causing widespread dissatisfaction. The facility operator, CyrusOne, stated that the outage was caused by a cooling system issue at a data center in the Chicago area.
