What is CME Direct?

CME Direct is an interface for trading futures, options, and OTC-cleared products, with direct market access to CME Globex. While CME Globex is primarily used for trading listed products like futures and options, CME Direct also specializes in facilitating OTC trading, offering access to OTC-cleared products such as interest rate swaps and commodity swaps.
