Chicago Mercantile Exchange

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is a place where people buy and sell certain types of investments such as stocks, bonds, futures, and currencies. People who use the CME are called traders and they buy and sell investments as a way to make money. The CME has rules, like all trading exchanges, that help keep the trading fair and orderly. When people buy and sell investments on the CME, they agree to the rules set by the exchange so everyone is on the same page.
