To prepare for Livestock markets migration to Google Cloud in Q4 2026, CME Group is launching new, dedicated Market Segments and Market Data Platform (MDP) Channels on-premise to segregate Livestock markets from the rest of the Agricultural complex.

Effective Sunday, August 16, Livestock markets will trade on the new Market Segments and MDP Channels.

Clients will need to connect to new multicast channels for market data, and the new Market Segment Gateways (MSGW) and Drop Copy for MSGW instances for access to Livestock listed derivative markets.

These changes will be available in New Release for customer testing on Sunday, July 19.

These new market segments will be available in the Sandbox-Dallas environment before the Production-Dallas launch. The launch date will be announced in future CME Globex Notices.
