US futures trading halted due to CME technical problems

Futures contracts for U.S. stock markets, Treasurys and commodities were halted on Tuesday night stateside after a technical fault at CME Group.

"Due to technical issues, all CME Globex markets have been halted," the company said in a tweet on its official account, referring to the main market for trading U.S. futures overnight.

U.S. stock futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 last traded around 7:40 p.m .ET Tuesday. U.S. crude futures also appeared to halt trading minutes later.

In a subsequent follow-up tweet, CME Group said it "has identified the technical issue and is working to resolve it."

"We will publish the preopen and opening times shortly," they said.
