Go over to cmegroup.com and count the number of clicks it takes you to find yesterday's settlement price for 10 year notes. Okay, how many clicks to find the price of an IOM badge at the CME division? How about the open interest in the December 2010 oat futures contract? I think you get the picture. The CME Group site is getting better.
Okay here's one for ya... Go the the website and find the settlement prices, volume and open interest for the new commodity spread options or CSOs. 'Still looking??? Heck, go find the data on DTN, CQG or any other data platform out there. You want to know how to find settlement prices? Easy, just put on a contract and look at your equity run each morning! Disclamer: electronic bids and offers are available on TT but I haven't seen them on any other trading platforms yet.
As an OTC market maker I get requests for quotes of CSOs all of the time. They are truely useful products. Won't somebody at CME Group get on the ball get the data out there? Also, the requests I get are for spreads like CZ09/CZ10 or SN10/SX10. CME doesn't list such exotic combinations. Oh well, 'their loss. I'll continue to make markets in the OTC world for what he customer wants.
