CME's Globex agricultural, grains trading hit by technical problem


CME Group said technical issues had shut down contracts on its Globex electronic trading system on Tuesday afternoon with primarily agricultural and grains contracts affected and no impact on oil or metals.


Trading continued in the open outcry pits on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade. Shutdowns on the electronic trading system are rare.


'We can confirm that we are experiencing technical issues ... we are working to get this resolved,' CME spokesman Chris Grams said. CME listed contracts affected on its website at http://ift.tt/OyCeZU


A trader on the floor said the market was 'in a panic' due to the shutdown of the electronic system, which handles more than 90 percent of the volume on a typical day.
