Chicago Mercantile Exchange is to modify its market data pricing from next year. As of 1 January 2004, CME will charge users of its real-time feed a fee of $30 per month for each market data screen or device. Currently, CME charges $50 per month for the first screen at each location and $20 per month for each additional screen at the same location. In addition, CME said it will begin working with its largest market data users to sell exchange data directly and on a discounted basis to those customers through enterprise licensing arrangements, effective with the new pricing structure in 2004.
Open interest on CME rose to record levels last Tuesday, 3 June, with 24,835,531 positions, surpassing the12 December, 2002 record of 24,804,321 open positions.
