Trade locally, think globally

摘要

The Chicago Board of Trade is considered the center for agricultural commodities trading, with benchmark contracts for soybeans, oats, rice, corn and wheat. And back in 2004, the exchange began collaborating with the Kansas City Board of Trade (KCBT), the Minneapolis Grain Exchange (MGEX) and the Winnipeg Commodities Exchange (WCE) to host their native agricultural commodities on the e-cbot electronic trading platform, consolidating access and thrusting these regional exchanges onto the line of fire for speculative trading.
