CME Group will start 24-hour, seven-day futures trading on May 29, 2026. The exchange said the move ends the daily trading halt that created the so-called CME gap. Traders have used price differences between the Friday close and Sunday open to place bets on weekend news. The new schedule removes that window.
Under the updated hours, contracts will trade without interruption except for a brief daily maintenance period. CME Group stated that the adjustment aligns its markets with other global venues that already operate continuously. Market participants will still see the same contract specifications and settlement procedures.
The exchange did not announce changes to margin requirements or position limits. The shift follows years of discussion between the exchange and its clearing members about operational adjustments needed for round-the-clock trading.
