Futures Shake Off Outage, Stay Green Wall Street is setting up for a green open after futures finally came back online, following a rare overnight outage at CME that froze trading across global markets. CME blamed the halt on a cooling issue at one of its data centers, but everything is now back up and running. Futures—normally the main tool traders use to read pre-market sentiment—were offline for hours, leaving markets flying blind during month-end rebalancing. Given the thin holiday liquidity, nothing really happened. Markets close early today at 1 p.m. ET. Even with last night’s outage, equity futures are back online and pushing green, keeping the bullish trend alive. Happy holidays from A1 Trading — enjoy the weekend, traders. - Alan
