Global derivatives giant just wrapped up a marathon recovery session. After grappling with a data center meltdown that lasted a full 10 hours, CME Group finally flipped the switch back on—confirming all markets are now operational again.

The disruption hit hard earlier today, freezing trading across their entire ecosystem. We're talking futures, options, the whole nine yards grinding to a halt while their tech teams scrambled behind the scenes. For an exchange handling trillions in notional value daily, that's not just an inconvenience—it's a full-blown crisis mode.

Now that systems are back online, traders are diving back into positions. The real question? How much volatility got bottled up during that blackout, and what happens when it finally uncorks.
