BrokerTec EU markets are open and trading again, even as the rest of CME Group’s markets remain halted due to a data center cooling issue at CyrusOne. The exchange issued an update confirming that only BrokerTec’s European platforms have resumed activity, while trading across all other asset classes — including equities, commodities, FX and U.S. Treasuries — continues to be paused.
CME Group first halted markets early Friday after reporting a technical failure linked to a cooling malfunction at the CyrusOne data center. The issue has affected CME Globex, EBS Markets, EBS Direct and other major electronic trading platforms, leading to a rare full-scale outage across the derivatives ecosystem.
The halt continues to impact trading in S&P 500 futures, Nasdaq futures, crude oil, gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum futures, as well as several Treasury products. Market participants are awaiting further guidance on pre-open times, reconnection procedures and the timeline for a full restoration of services.
CME reiterated that updates will be shared “as they are available,” and said teams are working with CyrusOne to resolve the cooling issue that triggered the shutdown.
This remains one of the most significant CME trading disruptions in years, coming during a high-volume period driven by month-end activity and heightened volatility across commodities and crypto markets.
