CME Group reopens Globex metals, natural gas trading after brief technical halt

Feb 25 (Reuters) - CME ‌Group reopened ​trading ​in its Globex metals and natural gas futures and options markets ‌on Wednesday after a brief halt ⁠due to technical issues.

Earlier in the day, ‌the CME Globex Metals ‌and Natural Gas futures and options markets were halted at 12:15 p.m. ​CT due to a technical issue.

"Natural gas futures and options markets reopened ⁠at 12:50 CT. Metals markets reopened at 1:45 CT," ​CME said in an emailed statement.

CME said all day orders and ​good‑till‑date (GTD) orders for Wednesday ‌would be canceled, while good‑till‑canceled (GTC) orders that had already been ⁠acknowledged would remain working.

GTD orders stay active only until a specified date, while GTC ⁠orders remain in the book until a trader ​cancels them.

CME, the largest exchange operator by market value, provides a broad range of benchmark ‌products across rates, equities, metals, energy, cryptocurrencies, and agriculture.

Earlier this ‌month, CME Group reported delays in ⁠the publication of metals ‌settlement prices.
