Effective Sunday evening, May 13, the CME is eliminating the 2.5%
circuit
breaker for Stock Index futures.

During Globex trading, the maximum movement will now be 5% in either
direction.  That will be 55.00 points instead of  27.00 points in the
S&P
500 and E-Mini S&P 500, and 85.00 points instead of 42.00 poiints in the
NASDAQ 100 and E-Mini NASDAQ 100.  Similar adjustments will be made in
all
other CME Stock Index contracts as well.

During Regular Trading Hours, the first down circuit breaker will now be
5% instead of 2.5%.
