CME Expands 24/7 Trading to Silver Futures

CME Group is expanding its 24/7 trading model to include 100-ounce silver futures contracts, pending regulatory approval, following the success of its round-the-clock gold futures trading. The decision is driven by strong retail demand and substantial weekend trading volumes in gold futures, which have exceeded $200 million in notional value on recent weekends. This expansion reflects CME's strategy to cater to growing retail investor participation in precious metals markets.
