How will the CBOT provide market liquidity in the metals contracts?
The CBOT currently uses an electronic market maker program for the mini-sized metals. A market maker is obligated to provide tight bid-offer spreads for specified quantities. For the full-size Gold and Silver futures contracts, the CBOT will use an electronic market maker program with up to 5 market makers, all competing with each other, which in turn, should provide efficient, deep markets for our customers.
lol. i guess these guys decided not show up today. ecbot seems to be getting worse lately.
