[CME: Aware of Delay in Metal Settlement Data Release, Technical Team Involved] According to a report by Jinse Finance, CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) stated on Friday that it has noticed a delay in the release of metal settlement data, and its technical support team is addressing the issue. CME did not disclose the specific reason for the delay in the release of the metal settlement data. Metal settlement prices are closely monitored by market participants as they are used for pricing in physical and derivatives markets, margin calculations, and valuations. Last November, the world's largest exchange operator experienced its longest system outage in years, causing a complete halt in stock, bond, commodity, and currency trading, paralyzing the global futures market for several hours.
