1. CME Now Requires a License for Delayed Data:
- Anyone redistributing delayed CME data (including EOD settlement prices) must now have a CME Information License Agreement for Delayed Distribution.
- Without this license, redistribution is not permitted.
2. Impact on MRCI (Moore Research Center, Inc.):
- To avoid paying high distribution fees, MRCI is:
>>Moving previously free content behind a subscriber-only firewall.
>>Delaying website updates until after 12:00am CT each night.
3. Why it matters:
- The CME is tightening control over who can access and share its market data.
- MRCI is complying by restricting data access to non-subscribers.
