Chicago Board of Trade | DCM | Designated | as of | 12/21/2000 | CME | On 7/12/07, the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) became a subsidiary of CME Group Inc. CBOT was originally organized as a grain cash market in 1848; the CBOT is generally considered to be the oldest organized futures exchange. While experts disagree about the exact date when "true" futures trading began, CBOT cash contracts evolved into what are now considered futures contracts. Shortly before the civil war, traders at the CBOT began trading "to-arrive" or forward contracts in agricultural commodities including wheat, corn, and oats. In 1859, the CBOT was granted a charter by the Illinois legislature which, among other things, standardized grades and provided for inspectors of grain to be appointed by the CBOT, whose decisions were binding on members. In 1865, formal trading rules were instituted particularly concerning margin and delivery procedures. In 1877 the CBOT began publishing futures prices, and in 1883 the first clearing organization was established to clear CBOT contracts, initially on a voluntary basis. Under a clearing service agreement between CBOT and CME, most clearing functions for CBOT contracts are performed by CME. | 0 |
