The halt has gone on longer than a similar outage due to a technical error back in 2019 and underscores the reach of CME Group and its Globex electronic trading platform. It triggered widespread frustration as market participants contemplated the prospect of a lost trading session for millions of contracts tracking the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq 100 on one of the world’s largest derivatives exchanges. The trading halt was caused by a cooling system malfunction at a data center in the Chicago area, according to facility operator CyrusOne.
