Price Banding
 

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 Globex Control Centre ("GCC") and adjusted if necessary.

Price banding in the calendar spreads for the DME Oman Crude Oil Futures Contract and Inter Exchange Commodity Spreads are $0.75. In addition, protection points, which are used to define the protected range of Market and Stop orders, are at $0.50.
