CME Data Center Cooling Failure Halts Commodity and Index Futures Trading
CME Group suspended trading in commodity and index futures after a cooling system malfunction at CyrusOne's data center. The outage froze key contracts including WTI crude, palm oil, foreign exchange, and Treasuries during Asian trading hours.
Meanwhile, stock futures showed little movement Thursday night. The Nasdaq Composite's seven-month rally appears poised to end as skepticism grows about the profitability of artificial intelligence investments.
