Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)

    0.07 sec.
Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)
A leading exchange for trading futures and options on futures in four major areas: interest rates, stock indexes, foreign currency exchange, and commodities. The CME was established in 1919 as a marketplace for agricultural futures contracts, and in 2000 became the first U.S. financial exchange to demutualize and become a shareholder-owned corporation. The exchange also operates GLOBEX, an electronic trading system for after-hour orders. Also called Merc.
