CME Group futures trading halted after data-center cooling failure
CME Group suspended trading across its futures and FX platforms early Friday due to a cooling problem at a data center operated by CyrusOne. The outage froze pricing for key futures including crude, gold, Treasuries, equity indices and major forex pairs, leaving brokers unable to execute contracts. Trading remained suspended for several hours before gradual resumption as the technical issue was addressed.
