FX a 'go' on eve of CME Europe launch

Bourse operator's first European exchange will launch on Sunday with energy and FX derivatives

Chicago-based CME Group will officially launch its first European exchange on Sunday evening after receiving long-awaited regulatory approval to offer foreign exchange products.

CME Europe gained final sign-off from the Bank of England to offer trading in FX futures yesterday, which will be a relief to the bourse operator after months of delays because of issues related to the settlement process for currency products.
