The continued growth of retail trading has been a hot topic this week at the 50th annual International Futures Industry Conference in Boca Raton, Florida. CME Group Chief Commercial Officer Julie Winkler stopped by the show to discuss what the exchange is doing to meet the needs of increasingly sophisticated retail traders. At the other end of the retail spectrum, Winkler shared details about CME Group's Trading Challenge, which introduces new investors to futures markets.
Winkler also outlined ways CME Group is leveraging its partnership with Google Cloud to not only make data more accessible to traders, but also build out its matching engine's disaster recovery site.
