CME Globex Product Support Overview

Each Sunday CME Group lists instruments tradable on CME Globex for the coming week. Clients have the ability, for eligible exchange-listed instruments, to create user-defined spreads and combinations of these instruments. Additionally, CME Direct users can create user-defined options outright instruments. Referential data for these instruments is available from a number of services.
