NEW YORK, U.S. – Effective with the start of trading for trade date Monday, March 12 and through and including trade date Friday, March 23, 2018, the Exchange is implementing a temporary change to the open times for Sugar No. 11, Coffee “C” and Cocoa futures and option contracts.
On each day in this period the opening times for these contracts will be:
- Sugar No. 11: 4:30 am NY time
- Coffee “C”: 5:15 am NY time
- Cocoa: 5:45 am NY time
The Exchange is also implementing a temporary change to the daily settlement window for Cocoa futures and options contracts for this same period.
For this period only, the daily settlement window for Cocoa will be from 12:48 to 12:50 pm; at the end of this period the window will revert to the normal 11:48 to 11:50 am time.
Due to this temporary change to the settlement window, during this period Trade at
Settlement (or “TAS”) trading for Cocoa will end at 12:50 pm each day instead of the normal 11:50 am time. (Please note that trading in the expiring March 2018 Cocoa future contract on its last trading day – 3/14/18 – will also end at 12:50 pm.)
Other trading times for these products – including the Pre-Open time, the Daily Close of Trading, and the Daily Settlement Window for Sugar No. 11 and Coffee “C” contracts – remain unchanged during this period as expressed in NY local times.
This temporary change to the referenced times for these products is due to the start of Daylight Savings Time in the U.S. on March 11, and will last until the start of British Summer Time on March 25. Traders outside the US should be aware that the start of US Daylight Savings Time and/or British Summer time may impact their local time corresponding to the relevant Pre-Open, Daily Settlement Window and Daily Close of Trading times of any product.
