Credit Rating Cut for CME Group
In response, CME spokesperson Chris Grams says, “We’re pleased that our rating remains high, with only 21 companies in the S&P 500 achieving an AA- rating or better. We’re also pleased with the growth of our OTC business, which has now cleared more than $250 billion in U.S. customer volume ahead of the Dodd-Frank mandate.”

CME Group CEO Craig Donohue is scheduled to speak at a Credit Suisse Financial Services Forum Thursday in Florida.

Shares of CME Group fell following the bankruptcy of MF Global on October 31, 2011 but have since recovered (see graph above).
