CHICAGO (Dow Jones)--The Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. (CME) announced it
will revise the trading hours on its Globex electronic trading platform
beginning Monday, Sept. 29. The new schedule will add 45 minutes per day to
stock-index and weather trading and 30 minutes per day to interest-rate and
foreign-exchange trading.
The new schedule will expand the hours of Globex trading of stock index
products by reducing the time between the afternoon market close and the start
