Score

New Model: Marking the close. This beta model detects potential settlement price manipulation in select CME outrights and spreads. The model identifies on exchange activity during individual settlement periods that may have influenced the settlement price for the most commonly traded CME products. Higher scoring clusters indicate a greater chance that a trader's activity affected the settlement price.
