Anyone have any idea why trading is currently paused? Doesn’t appear to conform with the stated Thanks giving holiday hours. Market closed as expected this afternoon, re-opened at 5 as expected. I’ve been trading through the evening. and suddenly about 45 minutes ago it “paused”. No orders are being routed.

An outage at the world’s biggest exchange operator, CME Group has halted trade on its popular currency platform and in futures spanning foreign exchange, commodities, Treasuries and stocks, freezing a handful of benchmarks as brokers pulled products.
The problem was a cooling issue at CyrusOne data centres, said CME in a statement, adding it was working to resolve it in the “near term” but offering no further details.
PS: I never understood why in the US they never use the Chicago timezone time if they speak about the CME. It was 8:45 p.m. in Chicago. Why use then a different time from a different timezone??? You can as well use the timezone from China…
I have again data. Markets probably open again.
They said it was a “cooling issue” at one of the data centers… was it really that though? lol
