The company experienced a major, hours-long data center outage that halted its Globex electronic trading platform, disrupting futures and options trading across global equity, currency, bond, and commodity markets. The disruption, caused by a cooling issue, was more prolonged than a similar 2019 outage. Trading eventually resumed later in the morning. Despite the significant operational disruption, broader market indices showed modest gains, and the company successfully restored most operations, including its bond and currency platforms, before the abbreviated trading day.
