CME Group to close New York trading floor at year-end

http://www.futuresmag.com/2016/04/13/cme-group-close-new-york-trading-floor-year-end

As declining open outcry options volume on CME Group's New York trading floor now represents just 0.3% of the company's overall energy and metals trading volumes, CME Group will close its New York trading floor at year-end, subject to CFTC review. All options products listed with and subject to the rules and regulations of NYMEX and COMEX will be available for trading on CME Globex, and for submission for clearing through CME ClearPort.
