Price Banding

Price banding is a mechanism to ensure a fair and orderly market. This mechanism subjects all incoming orders to price verification and rejects all orders with clearly erroneous prices. Price bands are monitored throughout the day by the CME Global Control Centre and adjusted if necessary.

Effective from trade date 7th June  2010, price banding in the calendar spreads for the DME Oman Crude Oil Futures Contract and Inter Exchange Commodity Spreads were reduced from $ 0.75 to $0.25. In addition, protection points, which are used to define the protected range of Market and Stop orders, were reduced from $0.50 to $0.13.
