| Trading in US natural gas futures was halted for more than half an hour on Wednesday, the second major disruption in a month in one of the most heavily traded commodity markets. Metals contracts were also affected.
CME Group Inc. said gas futures and options on its Globex electronic platform restarted trading after an interruption due to technical issues.
The halt, which CME said lasted about 50 minutes for gas futures and 35 minutes for options, came on the same day that the natural gas futures contract for March delivery expired, a key date for traders looking to roll over their positions. Prices rose before settling 1.9% higher at $2.969 per million British thermal units.
Trading in metals, including gold and copper, on Globex was also halted before resuming at around 1:45 p.m. Central Time.
