[edit] Requested Move

The name of the company has changed and so the title of the article referring to that company should change. See Citigroup, formerly known as Citibank for an earlier example of this change. The company's website makes this distinction clear.

Alternatively, we can put this and the CBOT in a new article called CME Group, as the two organizations remain distinct subsidiaries (it seems) held by a holding group. That way we can focus on the holding group's aspects (and really, the the actual company) while this article would become less important -- a subarticle CME Group. The stock ticker for CME Group needs to be attached to the article CME Group regardless. OptimistBen 01:39, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

It seems to me that this article is primarily about the exchange, not the company that owns it, so I don't think moving this article would be good. I would just write a new article about the holding company at CME Group and any CME-specific info from here and the CBOT article can be cut and pasted to it. Recury 18:51, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

A move proposal was listed at Wikipedia:Requested moves suggesting that the title of this page be changed from "Chicago Mercantile Exchange" to "CME Group", but there is no consensus for the move at this time. Dekimasuよ! 00:44, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually, Citigroup's former name was Citicorp, not Citibank. (To be really specific, Citigroup is the result of a merger between Travelers Group and Citicorp.) Citibank is a subsidiary with its own Wikipedia article. --JHP (talk) 04:06, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Commodities traded?

The New York Mercantile Exchange article has a list of the commodities traded on it. It would be nice if this article had a list of the commodities and other financial instruments traded on the CME. --JHP (talk) 04:13, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
