Changes to Public CME Market Data Displays

Beginning January 1, 2027, CME Group is changing its licensing requirements for how delayed futures and options market data can be displayed publicly on websites and applications.

These changes apply across market data providers and specifically affect displays that are available without a user login.

What is changing?

Under CME Group’s new requirements:

• Last trade prices displayed publicly will move to hourly snapshots. Each snapshot will capture the price at five minutes past the hour and can be displayed beginning no earlier than 15 minutes past the hour.
• Certain daily market data will not be available publicly until the following morning. Settlement prices, cleared volume, open interest, and opening, closing, high, and low prices for a given trade date cannot be displayed until 7:00 a.m. Central Time the following day.

These requirements also apply to CME futures prices currently shown alongside public Cash Bids.

What this means for Bushel customers

Bushel will continue to support both public Cash Bid and Futures displays. Customers will have two options:

Option 1: Keep your displays public

No action is required from you. Bushel will update your displays to meet CME’s new requirements.

• Cash Bids will remain publicly available, but the futures price will be removed.
• Public Futures displays will move to CME’s new hourly snapshot and next-day publication schedules.

Option 2: Require users to log in

If you want to preserve the current delayed-data update frequency and continue displaying futures prices alongside Cash Bids, those displays can be moved behind a user login.

Bushel can accommodate this change for customers who choose this option.

Already behind a login?

If your Cash Bid and Futures displays already require users to log in, no changes are needed as a result of these new public-display requirements.

These changes take effect January 1, 2027. If you would like to move your public displays behind a login, or would like to talk through which option makes the most sense for your organization, please contact your Bushel Customer Success Manager or email support@bushelpowered.com. We’ll work with you to make this transition as straightforward as possible.

Since this change will impact your team members and customers, we encourage you to broadly communicate these changes. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance.
