I'm still trying to process this rationally. Here goes:
The CME, which as per their website claims to be "the world’s leading derivatives marketplace" announces on said website that "Due to a cooling issue at CyrusOne data centers, our other markets are currently halted"
OK fine, despite the resources you would assume CME has to ensure their systems are made redundant proof, let's give them the benefit of the doubt. But how could this happen on one of the quietest trading days of the year (Thanksgiving in USA) and during the quietest time too (this all started at approx 2am EST) ?! Not exactly a time you'd expect a data center to be struggling to manage things!
And it all coincides with silver on the verge of breaking out.
No doubt the 'nothing to see here' messages are being drafted right now. Lets see how this all pans out.
