Last month, the CBOT decided to quit the system. In addition, on May 17 the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange turned down a chance to join the system. Additional candidates for Globex membership are not forthcoming, because Globex still has 2 handicaps: It is primitive and cumbersome to use. Only about 4,000 CME contracts a day are traded on the system, far short of the 25,000 that Reuters had been hoping for.
