Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

CME Group's 3Q profit up on lower costs

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:48:00 GMT

NEW YORK - Exchange operator CME Group Inc. said Thursday its third-quarter profit increased 20 percent as cost-cutting and a smaller tax provision offset a 4 percent decline in revenue.
But the derivatives, futures and options exchange operator said that if the New York Mercantile Exchange's results were fully included from last year, the parent company's profit would have fallen 20 percent.
CME Group, based in Chicago, acquired New York Mercantile Exchange in August of 2008, so its full quarterly results from the year-ago period were not completely reflected in CME Group's data from that period.
