OBS

The Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), established in 1848, is the world's oldest derivatives (futures and futures-options) exchange. More than 3,600 CBOT members trade 48 different futures and options products at the CBOT, resulting in 2000 annual trading volume of more than 233 million contracts.

OBS

The CBOT's principal role is to provide contract markets for its members and customers and to oversee the integrity and cultivation of those markets. Its markets provide prices that result from trading in open auction or electronic platforms. The marketplace assimilates new information throughout the trading day, and through trading it translates this information into benchmark prices agreed upon by buyers and sellers.
