  • Commodity Futures Trading Stopped After Data Center Glitch

    From finance.yahoo.com

    Trading of futures and options on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange was halted by a data-center fault, causing hours of disruption to markets across equities, foreign exchange, bonds and commodities. The malfunction is already longer than a similar, hours-long outage due to a technical error back in 2019 and underscores the reach of CME Group and its Globex electronic trading platform.

The great silver and gold breakout is here. A financial reset and makeover are facing the world. The fall of big banks (due to silver manipulation) and the gold/dollar standard is where we are heading. A great time to be alive.

The truth will eventually come out. Silver is about to break out and the manipulation in the paper traded market continues. Big banks are behind the silver suppression. Make no mistake.
WE WILL SEE SILVER PRICES AT RECORD HIGHS SOON

All that comes to mind is how much energy AI requires for use with this data centers. lol I truly wonder if it overloads the data centers? Thats actually one of the issues with AI i've read. Maybe it's not correlated, but two outages weeks apart already does seem strange to me. I have no idea what it could be, I do find it strange, Reminds me how fragile all of this truly is.

It says due to cooling issues, so deff seems something got overloaded possibly.

First the US Govnment shut down and now the world's largest exchange operator has a "Glitch" in its data center due too a cooling issue at its CyrusOne data centers ? lol....
Guy's if you have any open trade poistion its better to close it cause of a potential spike in volatility once the outage is resolved....God know when...

isn't it strange, last week of the month, plus we have 85% chances of fed cutting the rate next week and gold does this.
likely maybe its a reset for xauusd and dollar, as the price action since the whole nov was a mess, maybe we might get smooth price action with low vol this dec?
its a possibility, as I've experienced it was a very bad time for xauusd, lets hope for the best

And so, it happened. Silver will soon reach three digits. Hold your buys.

Calm down. It’s just a physical cooling issue.

Stocks are trading pre market right now and show a gap up a little above Wednesday high. Stocks don’t gap up on bad news.

If you have to ask that question you are not a trader, never have been, and should never attempt to be one.
