The CME says that Globex halts trading at 10:30 a.m. CST on Monday. That seems to imply that it's open from Sunday night till Monday morning:

That is correct.

 

One more thing, the CME considers Sunday Night through Tuesday's close as one trade date- Jan 20th. So while, Globex halts on Monday morning, it reopens on Monday evening and orders placed on the system on Sunday or Monday will work through Tuesdays close.

 

Wait so globex (and index futures) are open monday morning from regular open till 11:30 EST?

 

Yes. I think Globex was open these shortened hours on Thanksgiving too!
