CME Group halted its plan to launch a 24/7 weekend crude oil futures contract just before its debut due to strong opposition from major oil hedgers and regulatory concerns. The American Petroleum Institute and the CFTC warned that weekend trading could disrupt pricing, strain staffing, and increase risk for commercial hedgers. While CME offers 24/7 trading for crypto and metals, oil trading remains Monday to Friday because of the market's volatility and hedgers' needs. The decision leaves offshore platforms to set weekend oil prices without US oversight, raising questions about future regulatory actions and market impacts on Monday openings.
