The top paragraph looks like the 11/26 schedule. YM bottomed -180 or so at around 10:00am prior to the 10:30 CST scheduled halt.
The markets were open until 10:30 this morning. See CME Holiday schedule. I believe this reference was more about no one available on Thurs at MB Trading for any customers who may have needs. Their electronic platforms were still functioning all day (forex) and futures closed around noon. The "Why" was due to Dubai news overnight and Asian Central Bank intervention.
Thanks for clearing this up I guess I have to take it up with my broker because is confusing to me, their nothing in their for the 26 th All CME products will have normal trading hours. Equity indexes, Foreign exchange, Interest rate, products will re-open at their regularly scheduled time on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 NYMEX/COMEX products on Globex will have normal trading hours and will re-open at the regular scheduled time in the evening on Wednesday for trade date of Friday, November 27, 2009
