The CFTC said it will stay the listing of a contract that would have enabled CME Group to start 24/7 crude oil futures trading as early as Friday. The decision delays the expansion of trading hours and reduces near-term operational and liquidity impact for crude oil futures markets. Net effect is a modest negative/uncertain read-through for CME’s timetable and market microstructure rather than an immediate price shock.
