  "account": "CHICAGO - CME Group has wrapped up initial performance testing for CME Globex in the cloud, according to a press release. The company claims faster round-trip trading times during testing and accelerated construction of its Aurora Cloud Region and co-location facility. The Aurora Cloud Region, which will host Google Cloud’s platform for CME Group market trading, is set to be ready for client testing by mid-2027. A Dallas disaster recovery site has been operational for testing since June 2026. CME Group plans to migrate its livestock market to the cloud from the Aurora Cloud Region in late 2027, eliminating the need for interim relocation to Dallas. CME Group CEO Terry Duffy expressed satisfaction with the company's faster-than-anticipated progress on transitioning markets to cloud infrastructure. The accelerated timeline and positive initial performance testing will enable the first cloud-based solution for ultra-low latency trading to be delivered sooner than expected. CME Group manages a derivatives marketplace for various asset classes, including interest rates, equity indexes, foreign exchange, cryptocurrencies, energy, agricultural products, and metals.",
