The CME said Friday that futures trading has been halted for several markets due to a technical problem.
A shortened day of trading for U.S. markets was off to an auspicious start on Friday after exchange operator CME Group was forced to halt futures trading for several markets.
“Due to a cooling issue at CyrusOne data centers, our markets are currently halted. Support is working to resolve the issue in the near term and will advise clients of Pre-Open details as soon as they are available,” CME (CME) said in a brief statement on its website.
Among markets not updating were Dow industrial, S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100- futures, gold and crude futures also showed no activity from around 9:45 ET on Thursday.
CyrusOne has data centers across the U.S., several in Europe and one in Asia, according to its website.
The world’s biggest operator of derivatives exchanges, the CME also runs the New York Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade.
The stock market was already set for a shortened day of trading on Black Friday, with the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq exchange due to close at 1 p.m. ET, following Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day closure.
The EBS foreign exchange platform, owned by the CME, was also not updating.
